Sulfoquinovose (6-deoxy-6-sulfonato-glucose) is metabolized to produce energy and carbon-building blocks. Sulfoglycolysis pathways occur in a wide variety of organisms, and enable key steps in the degradation of sulfoquinosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG) The free energy is used to form the high-energy molecules ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) Unlike glycolytic pathways that allow metabolism of all carbons in glucose, sulfoglycoleysis pathways convert only a fraction of the carbon content of sulfur into smaller metabolizable carbon fragments. The remainder is excreted as C3-Sulfonates 2,3-dihydroxypropanesulfonate (DHPS) or sulfolactate (SL); or C2-sulphonates isethionate or sulfoacetate.
