Abstrakt: Pyruvic acid is converted by cell-suspensions of Cl. butylicuminto acetic and butyric acids, carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Hydrogen donated by pyruvic acid is available for the reduction of butyric acid to butyl alcohol at a suitable pH. Formic acid it not decarboxylated and lactic acid is not dehydrogenated.
