Genome data as well as biochemical studies have indicated that--as a peculiarity within hyperthermophilic Archaea--Thermoproteus tenax uses three different pathways for glucose metabolism, a variant of the reversible EMP (Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas) pathway and two different modifications of the ED (Entner-Doudoroff) pathway, a non-phosphorylative and a semi-phosphorylative version. An overview of the three different pathways is presented and the physiological function of the variants is discussed.
基因组数据以及生化研究表明，作为嗜热古菌中的一个特殊情况，嗜热栖热菌利用三种不同的途径进行葡萄糖代谢，一种是可逆EMP（糖酵解途径）途径的变体，以及ED（恩特纳-杜德洛夫）途径的两种不同变体，一种非磷酸化版本和一种半磷酸化版本。本文概述了这三种不同的途径，并讨论了这些变体的生理功能。
