Optimal evaluation of energy yield and driving force in microbial metabolic pathway variants
Table 3
Performance of propionate oxidation pathways at Cpro- = 0.01 mol/L, CH2 = 1 nmol/L, pHin = pHout = 7, T = 35°C, ΔGATP = 50 kJ/mol, rH/ATP = 10/3, free CoA = 0.001 mol/L, total CoA pool < 0.01 mol/L.
The available Gibbs energy for the overall reaction (Eq 17) is 63.3 kJ/mol under these conditions (ΔGoverall = -63.3 kJ/mol).
