Predicted yields and selected fluxes for T. erythraeum

Cell type	Carbon Uptake (moles C/ g DW)	NH4 + Flux (mole NH4 +/ mole C)	Biomass yield (g DW/mole C)	Biomass yield (g DW/mole N)
Diazotroph	0.0572	0.204	17.5	55.3
Photoautotroph	0.0643	-0.0996	15.6	156

Biomass and exchange differences between the two cell types are a result of different sources of energy. The carbon mass percent (45.8%) is identical for both cell types because the same biomass formation equation was used (based on growth on N₂)
