Everything about The Reductive Acetyl Coa Pathway totally explained
The
reductive acetyl CoA Pathway is a method of fixing organic carbon from
carbon dioxide used by some
bacteria and
archaea. It is also know as the Wood Ljungdahl Pathway.
The principle reactions take the form of converting CO
2 via intermediates to acetyl Coenzyme A. Intermediates include
carbon monoxide and CH
3CO-.
There are two parallel reactions initially:
» CO
2 + H
2 →
Formic Acid → X-CH
3
CO
2 + H
2 → H
2O + CO
Then these come together with CoEnzyme-A to form acetyl coenzyme A.
The steps are catalysed by enzymes at each step.
It is found in various archaean
methanogens and in acetate producing bacteria such as
Clostridium.
Unlike the
Reverse Krebs cycle and the
Calvin cycle, this process isn't cyclic.
