P.101 left column bottom paragraph: "Now, suppose instead that the cell begins to use acetate fermentation when respiration becomes membrane limited,
diverting glucose away from the TCA cycle where much of the NADH is made. As a result, acetate fermentation produces
fewer NADH per ATP than respiration does, 1-to-1 compared to 2.5-to-1 (Box 1 and Table S1C). The onset of fermentation thus allows the cell to avoid NADH imbalance while generating
the ATP necessary to fuel high growth rates (bottom-right cartoon and blue curve in Figure 3)." |
