a

Biomass constituents absent from Yeast 7.6 are underlined. Different representations of Yeast 7.6 biomass constituents are noted below.

b

Identical to those in yeast 7.6, amino acids in the biomass objective function are in charged-tRNA form, but are listed here as the uncharged amino acids.

c

The generic mannan (mannose-containing) metabolite in Yeast 7.6 was replaced with three specific essential cell wall components.

d

Six free fatty acid species were abundant (>1% weight) in growth experiments: palmitate (C16:0), palmitoleate (C16:1), 10Z-heptadecenoate (C17:1), oleate (C18:1), linoleate (C18:2) and linolenate (C18:3).

e

Monophosphate ribonucleic and deoxyribonucleic acids present in Yeast 7.6 were replaced with the corresponding triphosphate ones in iIsor850.
