Pentoses, including D-xylose, L-arabinose, and D-arabinose, are generally phosphorylated to D-xylulose 5-phosphate in bacteria and fungi. However, in non-phosphorylative pathways analogous to the Entner-Dodoroff pathway in bacteria and archaea, such pentoses can be converted to pyruvate and glycolaldehyde (Route I) or α-ketoglutarate (Route II) via a 2-keto-3-deoxypentonate (KDP) intermediate. Putative gene clusters related to these metabolic pathways were identified on the genome of Herbaspiril ...[more]
