<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Fats are catabolized by [[hydrolysis]] to free fatty acids and glycerol. The glycerol enters glycolysis and the fatty acids are broken down by [[beta oxidation]] to release acetyl-CoA, which then is fed into the citric acid cycle. Fatty acids release more energy upon oxidation than carbohydrates. Steroids are also broken down by some bacteria in a process similar to beta oxidation, and this breakdown process involves the release of significant amounts of acetyl-CoA, propionyl-CoA, and pyruvate, which can all be used by the cell for energy. ''M. tuberculosis'' can also grow on the lipid [[cholesterol]] as a sole source of carbon, and genes involved in the cholesterol-use pathway(s) have been validated as important during various stages of the infection lifecycle of ''M. tuberculosis''.</div>FuzzyBot
