THAT formation of succinic, malic and fumaric acids takes place in minced muscle from some unknown precursor has been shown in a previous paper It was also shown that increased formation of these acids followed under anaerobic conditions upon addition of glutamic and aspartic acids to the mass Moyle, 1924. In the present work the action of muscle tissue on these two amino-acids and their possible role as precursors of succinic acid in the muscle have been investigated.
Dorothy Moyle Needham (Wed,) studied this question.
