Model for carbon metabolism and energy conservation in M. thermoacetica. The RuMP cycle (blue), EMP pathway (purple) and Wood–Ljungdahl pathway (green) are necessary for growth on pentoses, hexoses, and C1 gases, respectively. Abbreviations of the different metabolites are as follows: THF, tetrahydrofolate; X5P, xylulose-5-p; E4P, erythrose-4-P; S7P, sedoheptulose 7-P; G3P, glyceraldehyde-3-P; FDP, fructose 1, 6-diphosphate; PEP, phosphoenolpyruvate; PRPP, 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate. Ech, energy-converting hydrogenase complex; HydABC, FeFe-hydrogenase; NfnAB, NADH-dependent reduced ferredoxin: NADP oxidoreductase
