Kinetics of the ancestral carbon metabolism pathways in deep-branching bacteria and archaea

The reductive tricarboxylic acid cycle and the reductive acetyl-CoA pathways are thought to be ancient carbon fixation pathways in deepbranching bacteria and archaea. Here kinetic modelling suggests a conflict between these pathways based on acetyl-CoA influx.
