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.

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 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.
