A Proposed Pathway for Catabolism of Propionate in Methanogenic Cocultures
AUTOR(ES)
Robbins, J. E.
RESUMO
A metabolic pathway for the catabolism of propionate is proposed. This pathway incorporates a transcarboxylation reaction involving propionyl coenzyme A and oxaloacetate and a carboxylation of pyruvate to regenerate oxaloacetate. Data indicated that the proposed pathway is reversible. The proposed pathway and its apparent reversibility provide a reasonable explanation of observations obtained from metabolism of labeled substrate.
