In the chemostat culture, growth rate is equivalent to dilution rate. Units of measurements are given as follows: growth/dilution rate, 1/hr; carbon source uptake or gaseous exchange rates, mmol/gDCW-hr; Respiratory quotient, mol CO₂/mol O₂; P/O ratio, mol ATP/mol O.

^a Data from [38].

^b Carbon source uptake rates are model input parameters which are not predicted.
