1. Phototrophic cultures of Rhodomicrobium vanielii do not excrete glycollate when gassed anaerobically with nitrogen plus carbon dioxide, although the addition of alpha-hydroxy-2-pyridine methanesulphonate (HPMS) results in the excretion of a trace amount of glycollate. The inclucion of low amounts of oxygen in this gas mixture results in marked glycollate excretion, higher rates occurring in the presence of HPMS. 2.
