摘要
Glycogen was synthesized during all the growth phases in the rumen anaerobic cellulolytic bacterium Fibrobacter succinogenes. Glycogen synthesis and degradation were monitored using in situ C-13 and H-1-NMR spectroscopy in resting cells of F. succinogenes. The cells were incubated at 37-degrees-C under anaerobic conditions with [1-C-13]glucose and [2-C-13]glucose. H-1-NMR spectra were used to quantify enrichment by C-13 of Metabolism products. Glucose was utilized for energy requirements of the bacterium, essentially via the Embden-Meyerhof pathway, leading to the synthesis of succinate and acetate, while glycogen was stored. From [1-C-13]glucose, labeling occurred on C2 of succinate and acetate, and on both C1 and C6 of glycogen, the labeling on C1 being predominant. The C6-labeling of glycogen may be explained by scrambling and reversal of the glycolytic pathway at the triose-phosphate and fructose 1,6-bisphosphate level. When the bacteria were incubated first with [1-C-13]glucose, then washed and incubated with [2-C-13]glucose, the pattern of C-13 labeling in the products of the metabolism, as shown by C-13 and H-1-NMR spectra, indicated that glycogen was degraded at the same time as it was being stored, suggesting futile cycling of glycogen. The hydrolysis of previously stored glycogen can provide, in the presence of glucose, up to 30% of the carbon source for the bacteria.
