Fig. 2From: Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) production via threonine bypassThe scheme of the entire threonine bypass from PEP. Two molecules of AcCoA were produced from PEP by CO2 fixation at the expense of reducing power and energy. The numbers indicate the relative fluxes to PEP input. The metabolites are: PEP phosphoenolpyruvate, Pyr pyruvate, OAA oxaloacetate, Asp aspartate, A4P aspartyl-4-phosphate, ASA aspartate semialdehyde, Hse homoserine, PHS homoserine phosphate, threonine, AKB 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate, Gly glycine, Ser serine, Thr MTHF methylene-tetrahydropteroylpolyglutamates, Glu glutamate, 2-OXO 2-oxoglutarateBack to article page
