Here we design and construct a non-oxidative, cyclic pathway that allows the production of stoichiometric amounts of C2 metabolites from hexose, pentose and triose phosphates without carbon loss. NOG can be a nice platform with different sugars for a 100 percent conversion to acetyl-CoA. —Bogorad et al. —Igor Bogorad.
