Figure 7. The role of RsmA in regulating the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and glyoxylate bypass.

Blue arrows indicate reactions catalysed by the enzymes corresponding to genes up-regulated in the rsmA− strain according to microarray data. Red arrows indicate reactions catalysed by the enzymes corresponding to genes down-regulated in the rsmA− strain. icd–isocitrate dehydrogenase; sucA–2-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase; sucCD–succinyl CoA synthetase; sdhACDB–succinate dehydrogenase; fumA–fumarase; mdh–malate dehydrogenase; gltA–citrate synthase; acn–aconitase; aceA–isocitratelyase; aceB–malate synthase.
