Table 2 Potential reactions related to pyruvate dissimilation in T. saccharolyticum

From: Physiological roles of pyruvate ferredoxin oxidoreductase and pyruvate formate-lyase in Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum JW/SL-YS485

Reaction ID

Enzyme name

Reaction catalyzed by the enzyme

A

Pyruvate ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR)

Pyruvate + CoA + ferredoxin (ox) → acetyl-CoA + ferredoxin (red) + CO2

B

Ferredoxin/NAD(P)H oxidoreductase (FNOR)

Ferredoxin (red) + NAD(P)+ + H+ → ferredoxin (ox) + NAD(P)H

C

Pyruvate formate-lyase (PFL)

Pyruvate + CoA → acetyl-CoA + formate

D

Formate dehydrogenase (FDH)

Formate + NAD(P)+ → CO2 + NAD(P)H
