What is Phosphoketolase Pathway in Fermentation about?

The phosphoketolase pathway is a type of heterolactic fermentation pathway employed by some lactic acid bacteria. In this pathway, glucose is oxidized and cleaved by the key enzyme phosphoketolase into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and acetyl phosphate. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is converted to lactic acid, while acetyl phosphate is reduced to ethanol. This pathway yields 1 ATP per glucose and is used in some industrial fermentations like kefir and sauerkraut. Heterolactic bacteria that use this pathway inclu
