Promiscuity in the part-phosphorylative Entner–Doudoroff pathway of the archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus

The hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus metabolises glucose and galactose by a ‘promiscuous’ non-phosphorylative variant of the Entner–Doudoroff pathway, in which a series of enzymes have sufficient substrate promiscuity to permit the metabolism of both sugars. Recently, it has been p...
