Metabolic enzyme cost explains variable trade-offs between microbial growth rate and yield
Table 1
Focal EFMs representing different growth strategies.
Metabolic fluxes are given in carbon moles (or O2 moles) per carbon moles of glucose uptake. Growth rates are given for reference conditions [glucose] = 100 mM, and [O2] = 0.21 mM. For more details, see Table 10 in S1 Text. Abbreviations: * max-gr: maximum growth rate; max-yield: maximum yield; pareto: a Pareto optimal EFM with higher growth rate than max-yield, and higher yield than max-gr; ana-lac: anaerobic lactate fermentation; aero-ace: aerobic acetate fermentation; exp: experimentally measured flux distribution.
