Metabolism of a methanol-essential Escherichia coli strain. The introduced synthetic pathway is depicted in orange and comprises methanol dehydrogenase (Mdh), 3-hexulose-6-phosphate synthase (Hps), and 6-phospho-3-hexuloisomerase (Phi). Identified knockouts leading to methanol essentiality in the case of gluconate as a carbon source are shown in red; phosphogluconate dehydratase (edd) and ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (rpiAB). The knockout for reducing TCA cycle activity and mimicking natural methylotrophs is shown in blue; here malate dehydrogenase (maldh). Names and abbreviations are given according to the Biocyc database (http://www.biocyc.org)
