1 carbon compound

Broader Terms

It seems more probable that part of the glycerol is dissimilated to 2- and 1- carbon compounds and that the 1-carbon compound is completely utilised in the synthesis of a compound which is subsequently fermented whilst the 2-carbon compound, probably acetic acid, condenses to yield succinic acid.
What happens is that RuBP (a 5-carbon compound) accepts CO2 (a 1-carbon compound) and the 6-carbon product immediately splits in to 2 molecules of PGA (a 3-carbon compound).
The 3-carbon scheme requires that every 2-carbon product be accompanied-by a 1-carbon compound.
For example the prefix for a 1 carbon compound with the organic acids is form- so a one carbon acid would be called formic acid.
The absence of CO2 or other 1-carbon compounds ap- peared conclusive proof against such a scheme.
