Optimal microbial pathway variants can be determined by large-scale bioenergetic evaluation in syntrophic propionate oxidation
M. Paton, H. H. Hernandez, J. Rodriguez
This study evaluates optimal microbial pathway variants for propionate oxidation under various conditions, finding that lactate-based pathways yield the most ATP and suggesting non-hydrogen IET mechanisms are necessary.
