Reviewer 1's Review (Pierre Cornelis)

I have been through the rather extensive report of Mailloux et al."The Tricarboxylic acid cycle, an ancient metabolic network with a novel twist." and I found it very well written and well documented.

The results are convincing and the conclusion quite important because it changes our view of the TCA cycle and shows that it can be modulated by oxydative stress. I have been aware of previous publications of the group and this one is probably the best. I really enjoyed reading this beautiful manuscript.
