P.99 left column 3rd paragraph: "Figure 2 shows a key test of the membrane real estate hypothesis. In E. coli, the onset of fermentation typically occurs at growth rates of 0.3–0.5 hr^-1 (primary sources). But why? [investigators’] calculation of the minimal amount of electron transport chain needed to fuel growth, summarized in Equation 2 and shown by the red line in Figure 2A, demonstrates how rapidly the electron transport chain’s membrane requirements increase with growth rate, eventually becoming untenable." |
