δ2H of culture medium before inoculation.

Abundance-weighted mean δ2H values of all measured fatty acids.

Fractionation between δ2H of culture medium and abundance-weighted mean δ2H value of fatty acids.

§

Fluxes through the four NADPH-generating reactions (G6PDH, 6PGDH, ICDH, and ME) and EMP and ED pathways as a percentage of the total glucose uptake flux.

Negative fluxes indicate reversed EMP flux.

#

Negative values indicate NADPH underproduction relative to anabolic demand; positive values indicate NADPH overproduction.

For Pseudomonas species, published relative flux distributions (30) were assumed due to the periplasmatic conversion of glucose to gluconate and 2-keto-gluconate.

**

Mutants carry the following gene deletions: G6PDH in JW1841, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase in JW3985, membrane-bound transhydrogenase in PntAB, soluble transhydrogenase in UdhA, and both transhydrogenae genes in UdhA–PntAB.
