Growth Condition | |
Strains | Rhodopseudomonas palustris CGA009 |
Genotype | Wild type. |
Culture medium | Strains were grown in a chemically defined medium, NFM, with N2 gas as the sole nitrogen source in sealed,anaerobic 160 ml serum vials that were stirred with stir bars or in 27 ml anaerobic tubes. |
Carbon source | Acetate |
Growth rate | |
Case-specific description | Metabolic flux distributions determined by fitting simulated mass isotopomer and extracelluar flux values to measured values using 13C-FLUX2. When growing, R. palustris uses the glyoxylate shunt to conserve carbon and electrons for biosynthesis.Actual acetate uptake rates were 0.042umol/mg/DCW/h. |

Case-specific description | Metabolic flux distributions determined by fitting simulated mass isotopomer and extracelluar flux values to measured values using 13C-FLUX2. When not growing, R. palustris oxidizes acetate via the TCA cycle. The extra reducing power generated by the TCA cycle under non-growing conditions is coupled to H2 production.Actual acetate uptake rates were 2.0 umol/mg/DCW/h. |
