    • The acetyl carbons of acetyl CoA are released as carbon dioxide in the citric acid cycle.
    • Acetyl CoA links glycolysis and pyruvate oxidation with the citric acid cycle.
    • In the presence of oxygen, acetyl CoA delivers its acetyl group to a four-carbon molecule, oxaloacetate, to form citrate, a six-carbon molecule with three carboxyl groups.
    • For each molecule of acetyl CoA that enters the citric acid cycle, two carbon dioxide molecules are released, removing the carbons from the acetyl group.

  • The 3-Hydroxypropionate Cycle

    • Specifically, in this cycle, the carbon dioxide is fixed by acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA carboxylases.
    • This process results in the formation of malyl-CoA which is further split into acetyl-CoA and glyoxylate.
    • Propionyl-CoA carboxylase is an enzyme that functions in the carboxylation of propionyl CoA.
    • The acetyl-CoA carboxylase utilized in this cycle is biotin-dependent as well and catalyzes the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA.
    • This pathway produces pyruvate via conversion of bicarbonate and also results in the production of intermediates such as acetyl-CoA, gloxylate and succinyl-CoA.
