Which statement is false about the Entner-Doudoroff pathway?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement that organisms that have the Entner-Doudoroff pathway use it only under conditions of low glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate isomerase concentrations is false. This pathway is used by certain bacteria as an alternative to glycolysis, particularly those that inhabit environments where carbohydrates and sugars are scarce. It produces less ATP per glucose molecule than glycolysis, but it enables some bacteria to survive on gluconate and other organic acids that cannot be metabolized via glycolysis. The pathway produces pyruvate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, and is useful for bacteria that do not have PFK-1.
