- Title
Glycolate Metabolism in Eurasian Watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum).
- Authors
Stanley, Ronald A.; Naylor, A. W.
- Abstract
The metabolism of glycolate by Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.), a submersed angiosperm, was studied by feeding radioactive glycolate and glyoxylate and by analysis of glycolate and glycolic acid oxidase. Evidence for operation of the glycolate pathway is given. Glycolic acid oxidase occurs at levels comparable to amounts in species showing photorespiration. This species has a high affinity for CO2 and a possible mechanism for it is described.
