Extract

The purpose of this workshop was to collect together colleagues investigating the intermediary metabolism of protozoa, with a view to discussing those pathways involved in energy metabolism and the production of ATP and other high-energy compounds, together with the factors affecting energy balance. The aspects of energy metabolism chosen for discussion comprised the metabolic pathways ranging from the strictly anaerobic to highly oxidative; subcellular compartmentation of these pathways within the protozoa; the functional role of these pathways including a consideration of aero-tolerance; and the use of inhibitors as biochemical probes and potential chemotherapeuticagents. Hopefully this approach has produced a broad 'over-view' of important areas of protozoan energy metabolism which will enable both the specialist and non-specialist to appreciate the similarities and differences between the metabolic behaviour of a range of protozoa.
