Fig. 1From: Engineering microbial pathways for production of bio-based chemicals from lignocellulosic sugars: current status and perspectivesOverview of the metabolic pathways, which enables fungi, eubacteria and Archea to assimilate pentose and hexose sugars from growth and biomass. Brown, blue and orange arrows and letters mean the pathways used by fungi, eubacteria and Archea, respectively. The phosphoketolase reaction is present in bacteria and fungi and is represented by red arrows and letters. CCM: Carbon central metabolismBack to article page
