OXIDATIVE ENZYMES OF BACTERIAL SPOKE EXTRACTS 159 



germination and pyruvate oxidation is reversed by thiamine. The simplest 

 interpretation of these results is that pyruvate or a product of pyruvate 

 derived either from glucose, alanine, or endogenous reserves is required for 

 germination.
