Assimilation of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) can be an essential process in many bacteria that proceeds via the glyoxylate cycle or the ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway. to form malate (Fig. ?(Fig.1 1 boxed). In the glyoxylate cycle this reaction is usually catalyzed by malate synthase whereas in the ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway malate synthase is usually catalyzed by two… Continue reading Assimilation of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) can be an essential process
