Metabolic pathway of K. robustum SPU_B003. Left panel, the new XFP-PTA pathway; lower panel, the EMP, PPP, ED and TCA pathways; upper panel, 2-KGA pathway. The metabolites and the genes catalyzed by xfp/xfp2502 and pta/pta2145 are indicated by the bolded blue font. The absent gene (EC 2.7.1.11) is indicated by the dotted red arrow. The CO2 release reactions are indicated in bold green. Metabolite abbreviations: fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), 6-phosphogluconate (6PG), 2-keto-3-deoxy-6 phosphogluconic acid (KDPG), dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP)
