Proposed pathway for ethanol production from pyruvate in E. coli SE2378, native E. coli, and other ethanologenic microorganisms. (A) Pathway for ethanologenic organisms (yeast, Z. mobilis, and recombinant ethanologenic E. coli). (B) Native pathway for ethanol production in E. coli. (C) Proposed pathway for ethanol production in E. coli strain SE2378. PDC, pyruvate decarboxylase; ADH, alcohol dehydrogenase E; PFL, pyruvate formate-lyase; PTA, phosphotransacetylase; AK, acetate kinase; PDH, pyruvate dehydrogenase.
