D-Glucose

Description

Glucose is the primary carbon source in microbial fermentations and is catabolized via glycolysis in Escherichia coli to generate acetyl-CoA, NADH, and ATP [353, 358, 361]. In E. coli, glucose is predominantly transported by the phosphotransferase system (PTS), a process that consumes phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) [342], and its presence typically causes catabolite repression of xylose uptake in wild-type strains [361].
