General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism the phosphoketolase route as a mechanism of acetyl-CoA synthesis provides an advantage to microbes whose carbon assimilation proceeds via de novo formation of the C-C bond. The draft analysis of the Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum genome reveals the open reading frames (ORFs) that encode a putative D-xylulose 5-phosphate/D-fructose 6-phosphate phosphoketolase (XFP, EC 4.1.2.9/EC 4.1.2.22) and acetate kinase (AcK, EC 2.7.2.1). The co-location of the xfp- and ack-like genes in the chromosome indicates that the phosphoketolase pathway in Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z can represent a pathway for phosphosugars breakdown and an additional source of C2 compounds for acetyl-CoA synthesis Methylotuvimicrobium alcaliphilum
