      <name>glycolate and glyoxylate degradation</name>
      <description>Glycolic acid is introduced into the cytoplasm through either a glycolate / lactate:H+ symporter or a acetate / glycolate transporter. Once inside, glycolic acid reacts with an oxidized electron-transfer flavoprotein through a glycolate oxidase resulting in a reduced acceptor and glyoxylic acid. Glyoxylic acid can also be obtained from the introduction of glyoxylic acid. It can also be obtained from the metabolism of (S)-allantoin.
S-allantoin is introduced into the cytoplasm through a purine and pyrimidine transporter(allantoin specific). Once inside, the compound reacts with water through a allantoinase resulting in hydrogen ion and allantoic acid. Allantoic acid then reacts with water and hydrogen ion through a allantoate amidohydrolase resulting in a carbon dioxide, ammonium and S-ureidoglycine. The latter compound reacts with water through a S-ureidoglycine aminohydrolase resulting in ammonium and S-ureidoglycolic acid which in turn reacts with a Ureidoglycolate lyase resulting in urea and glyoxylic acid.
 Glyoxylic acid can either be metabolized into L-malic acid by a reaction with acetyl-CoA and Water through a malate synthase G which also releases hydrogen ion and Coenzyme A. L-malic acid is then incorporated into the TCA cycle.
Glyoxylic acid can also be metabolized by glyoxylate carboligase, releasing a carbon dioxide and tartronate semialdehyde. The latter compound is then reduced by an NADH driven tartronate semialdehyde reductase 2 resulting in glyceric acid. Glyceric acid is phosphorylated by a glycerate kinase 2 resulting in a 3-phosphoglyceric acid. This compound is then integrated into various other pathways: cysteine biosynthesis, serine biosynthesis and glycolysis and pyruvate dehydrogenase.

      <description>Allantoin can be degraded in anaerobic conditions. The first step involves allantoin being degraded by an allantoinase resulting in an allantoate. This compound in turn is metabolized by reacting with water and 2 hydrogen ions through an allantoate amidohydrolase resulting in the release of a carbon dioxide, ammonium and an S-ureidoglycine. The  latter compund is further degrades through a S-ureidoglycine aminohydrolase resulting in the release of an ammonium and an S-ureidoglycolate. 
S-ureidoglycolate can be metabolized into oxalurate by two different reactions. The first reactions involves a NAD driven ureidoglycolate dehydrogenase resulting in the release of a hydrogen ion , an NADH and a oxalurate. On the other hand S-ureidoglycolate can react with NADP resulting in the release of an NADPH, a hydroge ion and an oxalurate.
It is hypothesized that oxalurate can interact with a phosphate and release a a carbamoyl phosphate and an oxamate.
The carbamoyl phosphate can be further degraded by reacting with an ADP, and a hydrogen ion through a carbamate kinase resulting in the release of an ammonium , ATP and carbon dioxide</description>
