BIOFUELS. “Glycolysis is currently used in biorefinies to convert sugars derived from plant biomass into biofuels, but the loss of two carbon atoms for every six that are input is seen as a major gap in the efficiency of the process. A new synthetic glycolytic pathway converts all six glucose carbon atoms into three molecules of acetyl-CoA without losing any as carbon dioxide, (solving) one of the most significant limitations in biofuel production and biorefining: losing one-third of carbon from carbohydrate raw materials.””
