FIG 7.
Proposed glycerol metabolic pathway in E. faecalis strain W11. Solid arrows indicate the aerobic glycerol metabolic pathway, and dashed arrows indicate the fumarate-independent anaerobic glycerol metabolic pathway. DHA, dihydroxyacetone; DHAP, dihydroxyacetone phosphate; GldA, glycerol dehydrogenase; DhaKL, dihydroxyacetone kinase; EIIADha, phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase for DhaKL; Pdh, pyruvate dehydrogenase; Pfl, pyruvate formate-lyase; d/l-Ldh,d-lactate dehydrogenase and l-lactate dehydrogenase; AlsS, acetolactate synthase; AlsD, acetolactate decarboxylase; AdhE, alcohol/acetaldehyde dehydrogenase; Pta, phosphate acetyltransferase; Ack, acetate kinase.
