Mannogen is decreased in Δtkt.

<p>(A) Intermediates of glycolysis and the PPP as detected by LC-MS, when WT and Δtkt cells were grown in Homem medium containing either glucose (Glu), or fructose (Fru) as the main carbon source. Values in the first column (WT in glucose) are considered reference and the following values indicate relative change in intensity detected, n = 4. ^#—metabolites identified based on matches with respective standards, all the other annotations are predicted. * p < 0.05. (B) Levels of sugar oligomers detected in WT and Δtkt cells grown in the presence of glucose or fructose, n = 4. Identity of these metabolites is predicted based on mass and retention time, however, the mass is very specific for sugar oligomers. (C) Mannogen as detected by HPTLC. Shown is one of three replicates.
