There is a relationship between glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway in the liver. Erythrose 4-phosphate is required for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids by the shikimate pathway The pentose phosphate pathway provides intermediates for […]

Pseudomonas acidovorans

Pseudomonas acidovorans has the capability to degrade and utilize aromatic compounds as a sole carbon and energy source. This microorgansim channels the below compound to a central metabolite, catechol, then uses the meta pathway for ring cleavage and further degradation to pyruvate and acetaldehyde. a) What are the steps (show) and enzymes used for this […]
