H of culture medium before inoculation.
Abundance-weighted mean H values of all measured fatty acids.
Fractionation between H of culture medium and abundance-weighted mean H 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.
