Optimal evaluation of energy yield and driving force in microbial metabolic pathway variants
Fig 3
Pareto curves for propionate oxidation pathways.
The pathways were evaluated at the same parameters as Table 3. The horizontal axis represents the net energy recovered from the pathway, and the vertical axis represents the maximum MDF possible for the pathway with that energy recovery. The various points are obtained by changing the value of ε (number of proton translocations sacrificed) from 0 to 5.
