a

The model accurately predicts phenotypic responses in 89% of the tested cases (Matthews correlation coefficient, 0.79). See Materials and Methods for details about the experiments that yielded these results.

b

+, the model predicted growth/there was experimentally observed growth; −, no predicted growth/no experimentally observed growth.
