The glyoxylate cycle operates at a high level in Euglena gracilis when acetate is the only carbon source, and at a low level when glucose is the only carbon source, as indicated by activities of malate synthase. Altho glucose causes a moderate repression of some of the enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle, it neither represses nor inhibits malate synthase. The specific activity of the malic enzyme was about 5-fold greater in acetate-grown Euglena than in glucose-grown cells, but the absolute rate of CO2 fixation was about twice as great in cells grown on glucose. The respiratory quotient was unity regardless of substrate.

What are the different types of euglena?

There are two main types of Euglena: autotrophic Euglena that can photosynthesize and heterotrophic Euglena that must ingest food particles to survive. Autotrophic Euglena have chloroplasts and can produce their own food through photosynthesis, while heterotrophic Euglena do not have chloroplasts and rely on absorbing nutrients from their environment.
