Acinetobacter baylyi: Explorer le métabolisme

Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 grows on glucose as sole carbon source. However, important genes for glucose assimilation are missing. The only apparent way this organism can utilize glucose is by a periplasmic oxidation, via a membrane-bound glucose dehydrogenase. In contrast to glycolysis, gluconeogenesis is complete and allows the formation of fructose-6-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate, precursors for cell surface polysaccharide synthesis and for the pentose phosphate pathway.
