Interest in this laboratory has focused upon the metabolism of the acetic acid bacteria since the superior activity of bound forms of pantothenic acid (PAC) ((1, 2); coenzyme A (3, 4)) over the free vitamin was discovered. The disclosure that pantetheine (Lactobadus bulgaricus factor) is a mercaptan capable of coexisting with an oxidized disulfide form (5) has led to speculation as to whether coenzyme A and other bound forms of pantothenic acid might contribute to oxidative metabolism in Acetobacter suboxyduns. However, even though this organism has been extensively used in industrial fermentations (cf. (6-8)), knowledge is generally lacking concerning the mechanisms of its oxidative patterns. The present study has therefore been designed to obtain initial pertinent information.
