Optimal evaluation of energy yield and driving force in microbial metabolic pathway variants
Fig 6
Detailed bioenergetic breakdown of the reverse TCA pathway, evaluated at the parameters from Table 4, and Cic = 0.001 mol/L.
The wide red bars represent proton translocations invested and the bright green bars represent proton translocations recovered. The narrow dark green bars represent SLP. A greyed-out bar indicates a reaction that’s repeated for the sequential listing of species. The species are arranged in the order they react and are produced by the pathway, allowing for visual identification of bottlenecks.
