28. Metabolites downstream of xylulose-5P and ribulose-5P were not ruled out in these experiments.
29. Xylulose-5P was not tested because it was not commercially available.
30. The following sugars were tested in reconstitution experiments: ribulose-5P, ribose-5P, arabinose-5P, erythrose-4P, ribulose, ribose, arabinose, xylose, xylulose, glucose-6P, glucosamine-6P, 6P-gluconate, fructose, fructose-6P, fructose-1:6-bis-P, mannose, mannose-6P, allose, sedoheptulose-7P, and 2-deoxyribose-5P; only a small quantity of 1 is produced in the reconstitution system; experiments are being performed to look for possible cofactor and Fe requirements (see the Supporting Information for cloning, protein-expression, and reconstitution procedures).
