Fig. 1

Metabolic pathway of pyruvate to ethanol in T. saccharolyticum. Black arrows represent the metabolic pathways; blue arrows represent the cofactor involved in the pathway. LDH lactate dehydrogenase, PFL pyruvate formate-lyase, PFOR pyruvate ferredoxin oxidoreductase, ALDH acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, ADH alcohol dehydrogenase. ALDH and ADH were thought to be catalyzed by bifunctional alcohol dehydrogenase in T. saccharolyticum.
