Select an outlined amino-acid label in the diagram to open that specific pathway. Each page shows the intermediates, enzymes and supporting inputs. The directory below provides the same links.

Underlying image: X-ray of Life, Volume II, p. 242. It is a general metabolic overview. The oxidative cycle, steroid branch and threonine-to-isoleucine connection in the book are not a species-specific Aquifex reconstruction. Linked pages distinguish representative routes and alternatives. The steroid label is intentionally not presented as an Aquifex pathway.
