Comparison of in silico and in vivo growth rates of S. limacinum

Media condition	Growth rate (/h)
(mmol/gDW/h)	In vivo	In silico
glucose (v = 1.4)	0.0887	0.0812
glucose (v = 1.4, DHA production = 0.03)	0.0883	0.0738
glycerol (v = 1.6)	0.0620	0.0613

In vivo: experimental results, In silico: simulation results. In vivo growth rate was calculated from the growth curve of S. limacinum. In silico growth rate was the solution of S (m × n) matrix, when the biomass function was used as objective function
