OptMDFpathway: Identification of metabolic pathways with maximal thermodynamic driving force and its application for analyzing the endogenous CO₂ fixation potential of Escherichia coli

Table 2

Maximal CO₂ assimilation yields and thermodynamic properties for the top 15 products in the core model ECC2 with glucose or glycerol as substrate.

#C-atoms: number of carbon atoms per product.: maximal yield of fixed CO₂ per mol substrate consumed; : maximal (carbon-normalized) CO₂ assimilation yield; : maximal product yield (corresponding optimal MDF in parentheses). : maximal product yield if a minimal MDF of 3.0 is demanded (minimal pathway length with MDF ≥ 3.0 in parentheses). MDF_max (): maximal MDF (corresponding maximal CO₂ assimilation yield in parentheses).
