Abstract excerpt
Pentose phosphate pathway and isocitrate dehydrogenase are generally considered to be the major sources of the anabolic reductant NADPH. As one of very few microbes, Escherichia coli contains two transhydrogenase isoforms with unknown physiological function that could potentially transfer electrons directly from NADH to NADP+ and vice versa. Using defined mutants and metabolic flux analysis, we identified the...
