Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> L-rhamnose and L-fucose are the two main 6-deoxyhexoses Escherichia coli can use as carbon and energy sources. Deoxyhexose metabolism leads to the formation of lactaldehyde whose fate depends on oxygen availability. Under anaerobic conditions, lactaldehyde is reduced to 1,2-propanediol whereas under aerobic condition, it should be oxidised into lactate and then channelled into the central metab...
