2-keto-3-deoxygluconate, an intermediate in the fermentation of gluconate by clostridia

R Bender et al. J Bacteriol. 1971 Aug.

Abstract

Five clostridial species were found to ferment gluconate via 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate which subsequently is phosphorylated to yield 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (KDPG). This compound is then cleaved by KDPG aldolase.
