Method P.1107 left column 2nd paragraph: "Yields were computed by determining, for each amino acid, the amount of carbon source that is required to produce the precursors of these amino acids (Supporting information, Table S2). In the case that the biosynthetic pathway consumes ATP, it was assumed that ATP is balanced by oxidizing the respective quantities of carbon source. If ATP is produced, it was assumed that the energy is dissipated or utilized through other means (e.g., protein synthesis) and thus does not affect yield."
Comments P.1107 left column 2nd paragraph: "In E. coli, complete oxidation of 1 mol of glucose leads to a theoretical maximum yield of 26 mol of ATP, 1 mol of glycerol yields a maximum of 15 mol of ATP and 1 mol of acetate yields a maximum of 7 mol of ATP."
