Few building blocks in cellular metabolism are as central and versatile as acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA). As a product of many CO 2 fixation pathways, its utilization in the cell determines how much ...

For example, Eubacterium limosum is an acetogen, a microorganism that can convert carbon monoxide (CO) or CO 2 to acetate via a unique metabolic pathway in which acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA ...

Pyruvic acid is a byproduct of glycolysis. In fast glycolysis it converts itself to lactic acid causing immediate fatigue. In slow glycolysis it gets converted to acetyl coenzyme A and is transported ...
