A thermodynamic bottleneck in the TCA cycle contributes to acetate overflow in Staphylococcus aureus
ABSTRACT During aerobic growth, S. aureus relies on acetate overflow metabolism, a process where glucose is incompletely oxidized to acetate, for its bioenergetic needs. Acetate is not immediately captured as a carbon source and is excreted as waste by cells. The underlying factors governing acetate...
