Abstract Glucose catabolism was evaluated radiorespirometrically in a fast-growing strain (GFI) ofThiobacillus A2, using glucose specifically labelled ith14C in carbon atoms 1, 2, 3, 3 + 4, 6 and universally labelled. Three simultaneously functional catabolic pathways were found to operate: Embden Meyerhof (54.6%), Entner-Doudoroff (34.4%) and pentose phosphate (11%).
