Method |
"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 |
"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." |
