The source of oxaloacetic acid, required for the synthesis of porphyrins in Arthrobacter hyalinus, was examined by means of a feeding experiment with [1,3-13C2]glycerol, which is transformed to pyruvic acid. A half of the carbon dioxide liberated from pyruvic acid in the formation of acetyl CoA was utilized for carboxylation of pyruvic acid to generate oxaloacetic acid.

The specificity toward substrate analogs of the first two methyltransferases in the vitamin B12 biosynthetic pathway was probed with 15 synthetic porphyrinogens. Several novel methylated chlorins and isobacteriochlorins were isolated and charac
