The key difference in the modified Embden-Meyerhof glycolytic pathway in hyperthermophilic Archaea, such as Pyrococcus furiosus, occurs at the conversion from glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) to 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PG) where the typical intermediate 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (1,3-BPG) is not present. The absence of the ATP-yielding step catalyzed by phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) alters energy yield, redox energetics, and kinetics of carbohydrate metabolism. Either of the two enzymes, ferredoxin-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate ferredoxin oxidoreductase (GAPOR) or NADP(+)-dependent non-phosphorylating glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPN), responsible for this bypass reaction, could be deleted individually without impacting viability, albeit with differences in native fermentation product profiles. Furthermore, P. furiosus was viable in the gluconeogenic direction (growth on pyruvate or peptides plus elemental sulfur) in a Delta gapn Delta gapor strain. Ethanol was utilized as a proxy for potential heterologous products (e.g., isopropanol, butanol, fatty acids) that require reducing equivalents (e.g., NAD(P)H, reduced ferredoxin) generated from glycolysis. Insertion of a single gene encoding the thermostable NADPH-dependent primary alcohol dehydrogenase (adhA) (Tte_0696) from Caldanaerobacter subterraneus, resulted in a strain producing ethanol via the previously established aldehyde oxidoreductase (AOR) pathway. This strain demonstrated a high ratio of ethanol over acetate (> 8:1) at 80 degrees C and enabled ethanol production up to 85 degrees C, the highest temperature for bio-ethanol production reported to date.
