Figure 5From: Model-based analysis of an adaptive evolution experiment with Escherichia coli in a pyruvate limited continuous culture with glycerolAlternative paths to a metabolite of interest (MOI). Illustration to identify reactions which can contribute to the production of a MOI. The metabolites E1, E2 and the MOI are essential for growth (MTR >0). For E2 there is no alternative. Thus J8 can not vary for a fixed growth rate. The alternatives (J3,J5), (J3,J6), (J3,J7), (J4,J5), (J4,J6), and (J4,J7) have to be identified.Back to article page
