The operation of a novel glycolytic pathway was demonstrated in nongrowing cells of Thermococcus zilligii by analysis of the isotopic enrichment in the end products derived from fermentation of (13)C-labeled glucose. The new pathway involved the formation of formate, derived from C-1 in glucose, via cleavage of a six-carbon carboxylic acid.
通过分析源自(13)C标记葡萄糖发酵的终产物中的同位素富集情况,在嗜热栖热菌的非生长细胞中证实了一种新型糖酵解途径的运作。这条新途径涉及由葡萄糖中的C-1通过一种六碳羧酸的裂解形成甲酸。
