Focal EFMs representing different growth strategies.

<p>Metabolic fluxes are given in carbon moles (or O₂ moles) per carbon moles of glucose uptake. Growth rates are given for reference conditions [glucose] = 100 mM, and [O₂] = 0.21 mM. For more details, see Table 10 in <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006010#pcbi.1006010.s001" target="_blank">S1 Text</a>. Abbreviations: * <i>max-gr</i>: maximum growth rate; <i>max-yield</i>: maximum yield; <i>pareto</i>: a Pareto optimal EFM with higher growth rate than max-yield, and higher yield than max-gr; <i>ana-lac</i>: anaerobic lactate fermentation; <i>aero-ace</i>: aerobic acetate fermentation; <i>exp</i>: experimentally measured flux distribution.
