a

Exp, exponential phase; Trans, transition phase; Stat, stationary phase; AA, amino acids.

b

95% confidence intervals were calculated by sensitivity analysis and the F distribution.

c

Calculated from the rates of ethanol and succinate production divided by the rate of glucose consumption, assuming 2 ethanol per glucose and 1 succinate per glucose. 95% confidence intervals were propagated from rates of ethanol and succinate production.

d

Maximum theoretical rate of ATP production possible based on observed sugar uptake rates (2.75 ATP/glucose and 2.04 ATP/xylose).

e

Combination of growth-dependent ATP requirement and growth-independent maintenance (assumed constant at 3.6 mM · unit of OD−1 · h−1 [86]) calculated with the iJR904 E. coli metabolic model (68); see Materials and Methods.

f

Growth rates for transition phase are in units of OD · h−1.

g

Rate estimated from only two time points during which glucose consumption occurred.
