…cellular building blocks include the ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway and the methylaspartate pathway. The ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway is used by organisms lacking the isocitrate lyase enzyme, such as the bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides. In this pathway two acetyl-CoA molecules are combined to produce acetoactyl-CoA, which subsequently reacts to form the intermediate ethylmalonyl-CoA. Ethylmalonyl-CoA is…
