SYNOPSIS. By the use of 14C-labeled substrates it has been shown in Tetrahymena that proline is rapidly and completely oxidized to carbon dioxide and glutamate (65–70%), plus small amounts of aspartate and alanine (20%), the remainder being incorporated into macromolecular cell components. In comparison, acetate, glucose and glutamate are oxidized to a lesser extent (55%, 37% and 16%, respectively). Glucose and acetate are extensively incorporated into cell components (53% and 36%, respectively), while glutamate remains in the medium (76%). Thus proline is a source of readily available energy.
