Journal Article
El-Mansi, M. (2005)
Free-CoA mediated regulation of intermediary and central metabolism: An hypothesis, which accounts for the excretion of α-ketoglutarate during aerobic growth of E. coli on acetate. Research in Microbiology, 156(8), (874-879). doi:10.1016/j.resmic.2005.04.008. ISSN 0923-2508
During growth of Escherichia coli on acetate, phosphotransacetylase and -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase are in direct competition for their common co-factor, HS-CoA. Such competi...
