Chapter 5, Problem 23CT
Summary Introduction
To name:
A substrate molecule that would be found in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecalis cells but not in human cells.
Introduction:
The Pseudomonas and Enterococcus cells can cause disease. The bacteria use the Entner-Doudoroff pathway instead of glycolysis for the catabolism of glucose. The Entner-Doudoroff pathway is used to identify the presence of potential pathogens.

Citrate synthase catalyzers the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl coenzyme A to oxaloacetate to form citrate. Isocitrate dehydrogenase converts citrate to its isomer isocitrate. A carbon dioxide is released when alpha-ketoglutarate is oxidized to succinyl coenzyme A. The energy released from the conversion of succinyl coenzyme A to succinate is used to transfer a phosphate group to ADP to form ATP. During Krebs Cycle, succinate is oxidized to fumarate which is coupled to the reduction of FAD to FADH2. During electron transport, the electrons from FADH2 are transferred to coenzyme Q.
