Updated annotation (from data): 2-ketogluconate 6-phosphate reductase (EC 1.1.1.43) Rationale: Specifically important for: D-Gluconic Acid sodium salt. Gluconate is probably primarily catabolized via gluconate kinase (BPHYT_RS16720) and the Entner-Doudoroff pathway (starting with phosphogluconate dehydratase, BPHYT_RS16735). However it appears that there is a side pathway involving gluconate 2-dehydrogenase (BPHYT_RS14520, which has no phenotype because this side path is not beneficial), 2-ketogluconate kinase (BPHYT_RS11300, no fitness data), and 2-ketogluconate-6-P reductase (this gene). A similar side path is known in P. putida (PMCID:PMC4646247) and this gene is similar to the P. putida 2-ketoglutarate-6-phosphate reductase (PP3376).
