Cover Story: Vitreoscilla sp. C1 carries a functional Krebs cycle and the genes for a branched aerobic respiratory chain, minus the genes for complexes III and IV, and our results show that Vitreoscilla sp. C1 sugar metabolism is carried out through a unique pathway that shunts intermediaries from glycolysis, bypassing phosphofructokinase-I, into the non-oxidative section of the pentose phosphate pathway, reducing its oxygen dependency, which appears as an adaptation to the microaerophilic environment that this organism inhabits. Although Vitreoscilla sp. C1 features a simplified respiratory chain, experimental data demonstrate that all predicted branches are functional, with two main dehydrogenases and two terminal oxidases.
