Reconstruction of Sugar Metabolic Pathways of Giardia lamblia
Giardia lamblia is an "important" pathogen of humans, but as a diplomonad excavate it is evolutionarily distant from other eukaryotes and relatively little is known about its core metabolic pathways. KEGG, the widely referenced site for providing information of metabolism, does not yet include many enzymes from Giardia species. Here we identify Giardia's core sugar metabolism using standard bio...
متن کاملTracing ischemic memory by metabolic pathways: BMIPP and beyond
Myocardial ischemia (MI) resulting in infarction is an important cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Acute ischaemia rapidly impairs myocardial contractile function. Myocardial dysfunction persisting for several hours after transient non-lethal ischaemia, eventually resulting in full functional recovery is termed as myocardial stunning. Hibernation is now thought to be...
متن کاملSugar Allocation to Metabolic Pathways is Tightly Regulated and Affects the Virulence of Streptococcus mutans
Bacteria take up and metabolize sugar as a carbohydrate source for survival. Most bacteria can utilize many sugars, including glucose, sucrose, and galactose, as well as amino sugars, such as glucosamine and N-acetylglucosamine. After entering the cytoplasm, the sugars are mainly allocated to the glycolysis pathway (energy production) and to various bacterial component biosynthesis pathways, in...
متن کاملAlignment of metabolic pathways
MOTIVATION Several genome-scale efforts are underway to reconstruct metabolic networks for a variety of organisms. As the resulting data accumulates, the need for analysis tools increases. A notable requirement is a pathway alignment finder that enables both the detection of conserved metabolic pathways among different species as well as divergent metabolic pathways within a species. When compa...
متن کاملMetabolic engineering for bioproduction of sugar alcohols.
Sugar alcohols find applications in pharmaceuticals, oral and personal care products, and as intermediates in chemical synthesis. While industrial-scale production of these compounds has generally involved catalytic hydrogenation of sugars, microbial-based processes receive increasing attention. The past few years have seen a variety of interesting metabolic engineering efforts to improve the c...
