¹³C metabolic flux analysis identifies an unusual route for pyruvate dissimilation in mycobacteria which requires isocitrate lyase and carbon dioxide fixation. by Dany J V Beste, Bhushan Bonde, Nathaniel Hawkins, Jane L Ward, Michael H Beale, Stephan Noack, Katharina Nöh, Nicholas J Kruger, R George Ratcliffe, Johnjoe McFadden

“…Here we show that deletion of one of the two icl genes impairs the replication of Mycobacterium bovis BCG at slow growth rate in a carbon limited chemostat. In order to further understand the role of isocitrate lyase in the central metabolism of mycobacteria the effect of growth rate on the in vivo fluxes was studied for the first time using ¹³C-metabolic flux analysis (MFA). …”
