The three pathways for glyoxylate conversion in Synechocystis.
Overview of the metabolism of photorespiratory glyoxylate in Synechocystis. The pathways are homologous to the major pathway in Arabidopsis (black), the bacterial glycerate pathway (red), or involve the complete oxidation of glyoxylate to CO2 (green), respectively. RuBP, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate; RUBISCO, RuBP carboxylase/oxygenase. The stoichiometry of the reactions is not included.
