(A) Decrease of catabolic energy per unit ED with respect to the ED uptake rate, μED. (B) Decrease of anabolic energy per unit ED with respect to μED. (C) Relation between the dimensionless ratio and growth yield, Y. (D) Relation between the fraction of ED used in the catabolic reaction, λ, and Y. Red lines and gray points indicate the observed regression lines and experimental values, respectively. The Pearson’s r values are shown, while the regressions are summarized in Table 2.
