The sulfofructose transaldolase pathway, first identified in Bacillus aryabhattai and Bacillus megaterium, involves isomerization of SQ to sulfofructose, and then a transaldolase cleaves SF to 3-sulfolactaldehyde (SLA), while the non-sulfonated C3-(glycerone)-moiety is transferred to an acceptor molecule, glyceraldehyde phosphate (GAP), yielding fructose-6-phosphate (F6P). (wikipedia.org)
It involves isomerization of SQ to sulfofructose, and then a transketolase cleaves SF to 4-sulfoerythrose (SE), while the non-sulfonated C2-moiety is transferred to an acceptor molecule, glyceraldehyde phosphate (GAP), yielding xylulose-5-phosphate (Xu5P). (wikipedia.org)
4-Sulfoerythrose is isomerized to 4-sulfoerythrulose (SEu), whereupon a second round of transketolase catalyzed reaction cleaves SE to sulfoacetaldehyde, while the non-sulfonated C2-moiety is transferred to an acceptor molecule, glyceraldehyde phosphate (GAP), yielding a second molecule of xylulose-5-phosphate (Xu5P). (wikipedia.org)
Co-expression of additional EMP enzymes, fructose bisphosphate aldolase (Fba) and triose phosphate isomerase (Tpi), with Pfk I did not enable EMP flux, and resulted in production of glycerol as a side product. (frontiersin.org)
We reviewed a few plausibly organic syntheses of phospholipids under prebiotic conditions with special attention paid to the starting materials as pro-chiral dihydroxyacetone and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), which are the key molecules to break symmetry in phospholipids. (mdpi.com)
Finally the PPP can also be used to produce glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate which can then be fed into the TCA and ETC cycles allowing for the harvest of energy. (imingo.net)
In the sixth step of the glycolytic pathway, the first step of the second phase, the payoff phase, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12) catalyses the oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (1,3-BPG), with the concomitant reduction of NAD + to NADH. (imingo.net)
We now demonstrate that this enzyme can also phosphorylate sedoheptulose-7-phosphate (an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway), with the V max and K m of F6P being approximately 15 folds higher and 43 folds lower, respectively, in comparison to sedoheptulose-7-phosphate. (biomedcentral.com)
These findings along with previous proteomic data suggest that Pfp, plays a role in both glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway, while PfkA and PfkB may phosphorylate sugars in glycolysis but is responsible for sugar metabolism elsewhere under conditions outside of growth on sufficient cellobiose.

6. 1,3-bisphosphyglycerate converted to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate by glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. (rahulgladwin.com)
The AOR/AdhA pathway also converts exogenously added aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids to the corresponding alcohol using glucose, pyruvate, and/or hydrogen as the source of reductant. (brenda-enzymes.info)
Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas2
Five sulfoglycolytic processes are known: The sulfoglycolytic Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (sulfo-EMP) pathway, first identified in Escherichia coli, involves the degradation of sulfoquinovose to 2,3-dihydroxypropanesulfonate (DHPS), and shares similarity with the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas glycolysis pathway. (wikipedia.org)
This pathway conserves less energy for growth and maintenance than the more commonly studied Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway, which generates a net of two ATP per glucose molecule consumed. (frontiersin.org)
Molecule3
One factor leading to the low biomass yield of Z. mobilis may be its use of the Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway, which generates only one net ATP for each glucose molecule consumed ( Figure 1 ). (frontiersin.org)
The mirror-image of the molecule, L -glucose, cannot be metabolized by cells in the biochemical process known as glycolysis . (wikidoc.org)
In solution, the glucose molecule can exist in an open-chain (acyclic) and ring (cyclic) form (in equilibrium), the latter being the result of a covalent bond between the aldehyde C atom and the C-5 hydroxyl group to form a six-membered cyclic hemiacetal . (wikidoc.org)
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate1
Rounding out the upper glycolysis pathway, the identity of the fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase in the genome was verified and reported to have substantial activity with fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, in the presence of the divalent ion, Zn 2+ . (biomedcentral.com)
Sugars3
Glycolysis, which translates to "splitting sugars", is the process of releasing energy within sugars. (imingo.net)
Two stereoisomers of the aldohexose sugars are known as glucose, only one of which ( D -glucose) is biologically active. (wikidoc.org)
Glucose is one of these sugars, and L and D -glucose are two of the stereoisomers. (wikidoc.org)
Pathways2
In all pathways, energy is formed in later stages through the 'pay-off' phase of glycolysis through substrate-level phosphorylation to produce ATP and NADH. (wikipedia.org)
Only 7 of these are found in living organisms, of which D -glucose (Glu), D - galactose (Gal) and D - mannose (Man) are the most important. (wikidoc.org)
Metabolic4
However, it is not clear what metabolic and genetic determinants contribute to low biomass yield. (frontiersin.org)
Lipolysis is the metabolic process through which triacylglycerols (TAGs) break down via hydrolysis into their constituent molecules: glycerol and free fatty acids (FFAs). (imingo.net)
The living cell uses it as a source of energy and metabolic intermediate. (wikidoc.org)
Entner-Doudoroff2
The sulfoglycolytic Entner-Doudoroff (sulfo-ED) pathway, first identified in Pseudomonas putida SQ1, involves the degradation of sulfoquinovose to sulfolactate, and shares similarity to the Entner-Doudoroff pathway of glycolysis. (wikipedia.org)
The low biomass yield may be caused partly by the low ATP yield of the Entner-Doudoroff (ED) glycolytic pathway used by Z. mobilis , which produces only one ATP per glucose consumed. (frontiersin.org)
Zymomonas mobilis is a bacterium that produces ethanol from glucose at up to 97% of theoretical efficiency on a carbon basis. (frontiersin.org)
One factor contributing to the high efficiency of ethanol production is that Z. mobilis has a low biomass yield. (frontiersin.org)
The engineered strain converts glucose to ethanol via acetate and acetaldehyde, catalyzed by the host-encoded aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase AOR and heterologously expressed AdhA, in an energy-conserving, redox-balanced pathway. (brenda-enzymes.info)
Fatty4
SCIRP: Food and Nutrition Sciences, Vol. In this process, both in vivoand in cultur… This binding will likewise lead to the cAMP/PKA-led phosphorylation of hormone sensitive lipase, that will ultimately drive the release of free fatty acids and glycerol. (imingo.net)
Fatty acids also can't be converted to glucose because fats are completely degraded to acetyl-CoA. (rahulgladwin.com)
Carbon5
Sulfoglycolysis is a catabolic process in primary metabolism in which sulfoquinovose (6-deoxy-6-sulfonato-glucose) is metabolized to produce energy and carbon-building blocks. (wikipedia.org)
A low biomass yield is beneficial for bioprocessing because it enhances carbon efficiency and reduces the amount of microbial biomass, which must be treated as waste. (frontiersin.org)
Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) contains six carbon atoms one of which is part of an aldehyde group and is therefore referred to as an aldohexose . (wikidoc.org)
As the ring contains five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom, which resembles the structure of pyran , the cyclic form of glucose is also referred to as glucopyranose. (wikidoc.org)
An additional asymmetric center at C-1 (called the anomeric carbon atom ) is created when glucose cyclizes and two ring structures, called anomers are formed - α -glucose and β -glucose. (wikidoc.org)
Only amino acids that can't be converted are leucine and lysine because their breakdown yields only acetyl-CoA. (rahulgladwin.com)

NADH1
This allows the recycling of the electron carriers (NADH) back into their oxidized forms (NAD+), enabling glycolysis to continue. (microbiologynote.com)
Fats are ready and available for when our glucose stores run low between meals, and it makes sense for lipolysis to occur as it will facilitate the movement of these stored fats through our bloodstream. (imingo.net)
Growth2
Growth on sulfoquinovosyl glycerol is both faster and leads to higher cell density than for growth on sulfoquinovose. (wikipedia.org)

This is the process by which non-carbohydrate precursors are converted to glucose. (rahulgladwin.com)
Definition1
Another popular method of distinguishing α from β is by observing whether the C-1 hydroxyl is below or above the plane of the ring, respectively, but this method is an inaccurate definition and may fail if the glucose ring is drawn upside down or in an alternative chair conformation. (wikidoc.org)
Glucose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and starts cellular respiration in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes . (wikidoc.org)
Form6
Sulfoquinovose is obtained from SQ glycosides by the action of sulfoquinovosidases, which are glycoside hydrolases that can hydrolyse the glycosidic linkage in SQDG, or its deacylated form, sulfoquinovosyl glycerol (SQGro). (wikipedia.org)
This form ( D -glucose) is often referred to as dextrose monohydrate , or, especially in the food industry, simply dextrose (from dextrorotatory glucose [1] ). (wikidoc.org)
