Biomass carbon distribution in pg C /cell after a light phase of 16 h, calculated from Fernandez et al. [34], compared to the optimal biomass composition at the same time calculated via diuFBA. For the third column, the protein production was fixed to the literature value.

Biomass Component	Literature	diuFBA	diuFBA (Protein fixed)
Growth rate [1/d]	0.81	0.924	0.893
Proteins	1.52	3.96	1.52
Lipids	8.62	6.69	6.69
Long chain molecules	6.74	2.98	2.98
Low molecular weight molecules	7.77	9.17	12.28
Total carbon	24.65	22.80	25.91
