Penthose & Entner Flashcards
Bacteria can take in glucose and break it down through these 2 pathways?
Pentose Phosphate Pathway & Entner-Doudoroff
Used simultaneously with the EMP
Pentose Phosphate Pathway
Pentose Phosphate Pathway makes?
1 ATP/ per glucose
What are some bacteria that uses the Pentose Phosphate Pathway?
Escherichia coli & Bacillus
What is the biggest benefit of the Pentose Phosphate Pathway?
they can use these intermediate products to build other things for the the cell
Some bacteria breaks down glucose instead of using the EMP; their DNA codes for these enzymes and not the EMP
Entner-Doudoroff
EntnerDoudoroff makes?
1 ATP/ per glucose
They make enough ATP to survive
Entner Doudoroff
What is an example of a bacteria that uses the Entner-Doudoroff?
Pseudomonas (gram -) bacteria
