Figure 2.
Metabolic network of the central metabolism of Bacillus subtilis utilizing glutamate and succinate as co-substrates. All flux values denoted in parentheses were generated by obeying the given stoichiometry. Effluxes and biomass yield were measured experimentally. The symbol 'ν' indicates the flux, the subscript 'r' the reverse flux of the bidirectional flux pair, the subscript 'ex' extracellular pools of substrates and products and YXS the biomass yield in g(biomass)/mmol(glutamate). All flux values are normalized by the glutamate uptake rate.
