T. Ogino,*'* Y. Arata,* and S. Fujiwara abstract: Proton correlation nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was used tostudy dynamical aspects of glucose me-tabolism and pyruvate transport in anaerobic Escherichia coli cells. It was shown that, in the anaerobic metabolism of E. coli cells, the amount of lactate continues to increase, whereas the concentrations of acetate, ethanol, succinate, and formate level off even when the supply of glucose is sufficient. Me-tabolisms via the Embden-Meyerhof pathway and the pentose monophosphate pathway were separately quantitated by using glucose-/-l3C as the sole carbon source. It was concluded that as much as 22% of the glucose is catabolized via the pentose shunt. The ratioof contributions from the two competing pathways remains unchanged even after the rates of metab-olism leveled off. It was shown that the rate of glycolysis is drastically reduced at low pH. The decrease in pH of the medium also shifted the fermentation insuch a way that the quantity of acetate produced is about twice that of ethanol and that lactate produced is much more abundant than other metabolites observed. These results indicate that under anaerobic conditions the pH of the medium is an important factor in determining therate of glycolysis and in controlling the metabolic pathways. When glycolysis is inhibited by iodoacetate, an exogenous lactate is taken up by the cell and further metabolized primarily to acetate through pyruvate,
