1. Extracts from Moraxella lwoffi oxidize @entity4919 , but at a low rate when compared with whole cells. 2. This oxidative activity requires the formation of @entity19722 . 3. Enzymes catalysing the formation of @entity69609 and @entity19722 are present. The presence of a @entity19722 hydrolase is considered to be an artifact, but partly responsible for the low rates of oxidation. 4. Enzymes catalysing the reduction of @entity2125 and the formation of @entity2388 with @entity19722 as substrate are also present. 5. That the only pathway for the metabolism of @entity4919 in extracts is a direct one to @entity598 via @entity2388 was confirmed by the use of @entity3209 -labelled materials. 6. A possible sequence of enzyme-catalysed reactions that will account for the experimental observations is described.

A direct pathway for the metabolism of XXXX in cell extracts from Moraxella lwoffi.
