Proposed one carbon metabolic pathway in T. saccharolyticum. Green arrows indicate the pathway for 10-formyl-THF production. Note that this pathway requires formate, which is presumably generated by PFL in T. saccharolyticum. Blue arrows indicate the active pathways of pfl deletion strains grown in MTC-6 supplemented with additional serine. Orange arrows indicate active pathways in pfl deletion strains grown in MTC-6 supplemented with additional lipoic acid. EC numbers represent enzymes responsible for catalyzing that reaction. In T. saccharolyticum, formate tetrahydrofolate ligase (EC 6.3.4.3) is encoded by Tsac_0941.
