Metabolic pathway for transformation of glycerol in L. reuteri. Proposed metabolic pathway for biotransformation of glycerol to 3HP and 1,3PDO via 3HPA as intermediate by resting cells of Lactobacillus reuteri. The different enzymes and co-factors involved are shown. Enzymes:[1] B12-depdendent glycerol/diol dehydratase (PduCDE),[2] 1,3-propanediol oxidoreductase (PduQ),[3] propionaldehyde dehydrogenase (PduP),[4] phosphotransacylase (PduL), and[5] propionate kinase (PduW). ν i represent the specific reaction rate.
