As hydroxyethylthiazole kinase mutants do not require thiamin, the thiazole is biosynthesized as the phosphate. We therefore assume that the phosphorylation has occurred at the 1-deoxy-D-xylulose stage.
23. Several related schemes, in which the order of the steps has been changed, are equally plausible.
