carbohydrate metabolic pathway trehalose metabolic pathway 2013-05-14T12:52:29Z PW:0001298 Those metabolic reactions involved in the synthesis, utilization and/or degradation of trehalose - a disaccharide synthesized by bacteria, fungi, plants and invertebrates. It has important roles in plant development and it represents the energy storage that insects use for flight. It is believed to be involved in the ability of plants and animals to withstand long periods of desiccation or anhydrobiosis. mycose metabolic pathway pathway trehalose metabolic process tremalose metabolic pathway vpetri
