Ethanol fermentation pathways in S. cerevisiae (solid line, EMP glycolysis pathway) and Z. mobilis (dashed line, ED glycolysis pathway). While the EMP pathway produces two ATPs per glucose molecule, the ED pathway produces only one ATP molecule per glucose molecule. KDPG, 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate; G6P, glucose 6-phosphate; F6P, fructose 6-phosphate; FBP, fructose 1,6-diphophate; DHAP, dihydroxyacetone phosphate; G3P, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
