Glyoxylate, anapleurotic and succinyl CoA (GAS) pathway (WP2638)

Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Schematic of the GAS pathway which is characterised by flux through the glyoxylate shunt and anaplerotic reactions for oxidation of pyruvate and succinyl CoA synthetase for the generation of succinyl CoA. From: (http://www.plospathogens.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.ppat.1002091)
