TCA or glyoxylate cycle and gluconeogenesis. The schematic depicts the basic enzymatic steps in the TCA cycle (black lines), which is common to all organisms, those of the glyoxylate cycle (dashed lines), which is specific to microorganisms and plants, and those steps shared by both cycles (bold lines) and the initial reaction of gluconeogenesis (shaded lines). PEP, phosphoenolpyruvate.
