Figure 2From: Metabolic engineering of microbes for oligosaccharide and polysaccharide synthesisMetabolic pathway for UDP-galactose synthesis using galactokinase and glucose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase [8]. Enzymes – 1: glucose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GalU), 2: pyrophosphatase (ppa), 3: galactokinase (GalK), 4: galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GalT), 5: α1,4-galactosyltransferase (lgtC).Back to article page
