Summary

  1. 1.

    The effect of a mixed carbon source on pyruvic acid formation was studied using acetate and glucose as substrates.

  2. 2.

    Within the same experimental period the mat weights, when acetate was the sole substrate, did not pass through a maximum value.

  3. 3.

    When acetate and glucose were incorporated into the same medium, or when only glucose was used, maximum pyruvic acid values were obtained on the 7th day. In the case of acetate a maximum value was not found until the 15th day.
