The Problem of Anaerobic Metabolism With oxygen, the NADH produced in glycolysis is re oxidized back to NAD + NAD + /NADH is a co substrate which means If there is no oxygen, glycolysis will stop because The solution to the problem is to The solution in Yeast Pyruvate is decarboxylated (cofactor?) to acetaldehyde Acetaldehyde transformed to ethanol What type of reaction? What cofactor? NAD + is regenerated to be reused in GAPDH 14
