ResumoAn important development in biochemistry has been the discovery of enzymes which can attack glu- cose-6-phosphate oxidatively to produce pentose phosphate and CO2.The diversion of glucose-6- phosphate by such a pathway has been variously called the hexose monophosphate shunt and the oxi- dative pathway and the names of several eminent research workers are linked with the elulcidation of the reactions involved (reviewed by Horecker ( 9)).Recent work on a great, varietv of tissues, including higher plants (1, 2, 7, 8) has demonstrated that such systems are widespread.In view of this accumulating evidence, some workers have been led to consider that this metabolic "byway" mayhave importance in addition to its being a probable route to the pentoses in vivo, and the further elucidation of the
