Comparisons of the Tat-secreting strain using the model iJV710 based on MTF analysis of the AMN with pathways grouped in broad subsystems. N is the number of reactions in the subsystem, NAMN is the number of subsystem reactions that are active in either of the two strains being compared, P is the P value obtained using the specified alternative hypothesis (i.e. when P < 0.05 the specified alternative hypothesis cannot be rejected). Only subsystems with NAMN > 4 are reported
