Abstract
A protocol to separate the intermediates on the biosynthetic pathway t o pantothenate on HPLC is described. Feeding experiments with L-[U-C-1 4]valine to pea leaf disks result in incorporation of radioactivity in to 2-ketoisovalerate, ketopantoyl lactone, and pantoyl lactone, provid ing the first experimental evidence that the biosynthetic pathway to p antothenate is the same in plants and bacteria.
