Proposed pathways for the degradation of serine (and threonine) in P. pentosaceus and P. acidilactici. The synthesis of alanine from pyruvate by P. acidilactici can occur by the action of an alanine dehydrogenase (amination) or an aminotransferase (transamination). dsdA, d-serine dehydratase; als, α-acetolactate synthase; ald, α-acetolactae decarboxylase; bdh, acetoin reductase (2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase); tdh, threonine dehydratase.
