“…are glycine auxotrophs”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxotroph 

Auxotrophy is the inability of an organism to synthesize a particular organic compound required for its growth (as defined by IUPAC). An auxotroph is an organism that displays this characteristic;

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTHFR

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is an enzyme (EC 1.5.1.20) that exists in the cytoplasm of cells. MTHFR contains a bound flavin cofactor and uses NAD(P)H as the reducing agent.

MTHFR irreversibly reduces 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (substrate) to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate. 5-methyltetrahydrofolate is used to convert homocysteine (a potentially toxic amino acid) to methionine by the enzyme Methionine synthase.
