qGG values were calculated using glycerol production data of the ΔggpS mutant (Figure 5).

ⁱ sim.: simulated; at physiological uptake fluxes of GG, the model does not predict a difference for the mode of cleavage (phosphorolytic versus hydrolytic, Supplementary Figure S2A). Similarly, utilization of the glycerol part does not lead to increased growth rate (Supplementary Figure S2B). ⁱⁱ exp.: experimental; error margins represent standard deviations of three replicates.
