Biosynthesis of thiamine pyrophosphate in Escherichia coli

J Bacteriol. 1972 Feb;109(2):936-8. doi: 10.1128/jb.109.2.936-938.1972.

Abstract

In Escherichia coli, thiamine pyrophosphate is synthesized from thiamine monophosphate. Free thiamine is not involved as an intermediate in de novo synthesis of thiamine pyrophosphate.
