General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction disruption of the putative phosphoketolase gene in wild-type Synechocystis leads to a deficiency in acetate production in the dark, indicative of a contribution of the phosphoketolase pathway to heterotrophic metabolism Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
metabolism the enzyme is indispensable for acetate production in the dark in all tested genetic backgrounds and nutrient conditions, which supports its physiological role as a phosphoketolase in the central carbon metabolism Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
