When the centric diatom Cyclotella cryptica is grown in a Si (OH) ₄-free medium, the glutamic acid pool decreases within 3 hours to a third of the original value, whereas the aspartic acid pool is reduced by only about 20 per cent. The pools of nucleosid-triphosphates and of glycerol-1-phosphate remain unaffected during this time. The nucleosid-diphosphates pool decreases in the same way as that of aspartic acid. The decrease in the glutamic acid pool precedes the inhibition of total protein synthesis in Si (OH) ⁴-deficient cells, and a significant decrease in the a-ketoglutarate pool precedes the decrease of the glutamic acid content. Already within 60 minutes ofter incubation in a Si (OH) ₄-free medium, the content of a-ketoglutarate is decreased to one third of the normal value. On the other hand, the acetyl CoA pathway (enhanced fatty acid synthesis) is not inhibited. The results suggest, that the Si (OH) ₄-metabolism interferes with reactions between the condensing enzyme (acetyl-CoA and oxalacetate) and a-ketoglutarate. The delay between inhibition of protein- and RNA-synthesis and the different changes in the pools of amino acids and nucleosid-triphosphates resemble the regulation of the nucleosid-triphosphate pool and RNA-synthesis in amino acid starved strains of E. coli (EDLIN and NEUHARD) ¹, though the primary causes are quite different.
