L-Ascorbate Biosynthesis Involves Carbon Skeleton Rearrangement in the Nematode <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>

Ascorbate (AsA) is required as a cofactor and is widely distributed in plants and animals. Recently, it has been suggested that the nematode <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> also synthesizes AsA. However, its biosynthetic pathway is still unknown. To further understand AsA biosynthesis in &...
