Optimal evaluation of energy yield and driving force in microbial metabolic pathway variants
Fig 7
Pareto curves for the reverse TCA cycle evaluated at the same parameters as Table 4 excluding Cic.
The horizontal axis represents the net energy spent in the pathway in units of proton translocations, 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 epsilon (number of translocations conceded) from 0 to 5.
