SUMMARY. Three enzymes of the glycolytic pathway, hitherto not identified in Trichomonas vaginalis , have been studied: phosphoglucomutasse, α‐glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, and lactic dehydrogenase. The identification of seven phosphorylated glycolytic intermediates is reported. The operation of glycolysis in T. vaginalis is postulated from enzymatic as well as chemical studies.
