a

Trp consumption is estimated from indoleacetate (derived from Trp) production. Ala is not included in the sum.

b

The amount includes carboxylic acids corresponding to amino acids, except for formate and acetate. Thioglycolate (derived from Cys), 5-aminovalerate (Lys), 4-guanidinobutanoate (Arg), and imidazoleacetate (His) production was estimated from the corresponding amino acid consumption.

c

Based on the assumption that the organic fraction of cells is C5H7NO2, and this comprises 90% of dry cell weight (11).
