Question1

toc =Text of the Question:= Undergraduates at the University of Arkansas and at the University of California-Berkeley have come up with two similar, novel methods for generating butanol as a biofuel. Draw the likely pathway from glucose to butanol in its entirety, including any cofactors or other substrates as necessary. Cite appropriate sources, especially literature sources. If you wish to believe the Internet, caveat emptor.
