Metabolic processes
• Catabolic = Breakdown:
• generation of energy and reducing power from complex
molecules
• produces small molecules (CO2, NH3) for use and as waste
products
• Anabolic = Biosynthesis:
• construction of large molecules to serve as cellular
components such as
• amino acids for proteins, nucleic acids, fats and cholesterol
• usually consumes energy

Inputs (cellular nutrients)
• Carbon source
– sugars
• glucose, sucrose, fructose, maltose
• polymers of glucose: cellulose, cellobiose
• Nitrogen
– amino acids and ammonia
• Energy extraction:
– oxidized input → reduced product
– reduced input → oxidized product
Other inputs to metabolism
Compounds General reaction Example of a species
carbonate CO2 → CH4 Methanosarcina barkeri
fumarate fumarate → succinate Proteus rettgeri
iron Fe3+ → Fe2+ Shewanella putrefaciens
nitrate NO3- → NO2- Thiobacillus denitrificans
sulfate SO4
2+ → HS- Desulfovibrio desulfuricans
Energy currency
ATP Adenosine triphosphate
NADH Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
FADH2 Flavin adenine dinucleotide
The basic reactions for formation of each are:
ADP + Pi → ATP
AMP + Pi → ADP
NAD+ + H+ → NADH
FADH + H+ → FADH2

Glycolysis
Also called the EMP pathway (Embden-Meyerhoff-Parnas).
Glucose + 2 Pi + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP →
2 Pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2H+ + 2 H2O
9 step process with 8 intermediate molecules
2 ATP produced / 1 Glucose consumed
Anaerobic
Pyruvate dehydrogenase
pyruvate + NAD+ + CoA-SH →
acetyl CoA + CO2 + NADH + H+
Occurs in the cytoplasm
Acetyl CoA is transferred into the
mitochondria of eukaryotes
Co-enzyme A,
carries acetyl groups
(2 Carbon)
Citric Acid Cycle
The overall reaction is:
Acetyl-CoA + 3 NAD+ + FAD + GDP + Pi + 2 H2O →
3 NADH + 3H+ + FADH2 + CoA-SH + GTP + 2 CO2
2 ATP (GTP) produced / 1 Glucose consumed
Anaerobic
Oxidative phosphorylation –
(respiration)
Electrons from NAD and FADH2 are used to
power the formation of ATP.
NADH + ½ O2 + H+ → H2O + NAD+
ADP + Pi + H+ → ATP + H2O
32 ATP produced / 1 Glucose consumed
Aerobic
Overall reaction
Complete aerobic conversion of glucose
Glucose + 36Pi + 36 ADP + 36 H+ + 6O2→

Fermentation
No electron transport chain (no ox phos).
Anaerobic process
Glucose (or other sugars) converted to
lactate, pyruvate, ethanol, many others
Energy yields are low. Typical energy yields are
1-4 ATP per substrate molecule fermented.
In the absence of oxygen, the available NAD+ is
often limiting. The primary purpose is to
regenerate NAD+ from NADH allowing
glycolysis to continue.

Types of fermentation
• Lactic acid fermentation (produce lactate)
– Performed by:
• Lactococci, Leuconostoc, Lactobacilli,
Streptococci, Bifidobacterium
• Lack enzymes to perform the TCA cycle. Often
use lactose as the input sugar (found in milk)
• Alcoholic fermentation (produce ethanol)
Alcoholic fermentation
Operates in yeast and in several microorganisms
Pyruvate + H+ ↔ acetaldehyde + CO2
Acetaldehyde + NADH + H+ ↔ ethanol + NAD+
Reversible reactions
Acetaldehyde is an important component in many
industrial fermentations, particularly for food and
alcohol.
Yeasts
Only a few species are
associated with
fermentation of food
and alcohol
products, leavening
bread, and to flavor
soups

species
Cells are round, oval,
or elongated
Multiply by budding
