Abstract
Respiratory studies with the protozoal organism Leishmania donovani have shown that this organism is capable of utilizing ribose as substrate. Studies with cell-free extract of this organism showed that it is rich in some key enzymes of the pentose phosphate pathway. Carbon dioxide production from glucose-1-14C and glucose-6-14C indicates that in this organism probably the Embden-Meyerhof and Parnas pathway is playing a more important role than the shunt pathway.
