Figure 3From: Genome-scale metabolic analysis of Clostridium thermocellum for bioethanol productionSingle gene deletions associated with increased ethanol production. The predicted maximum growth rate (X) is shown for each simulated deletion scenario during growth on a cellobiose minimal medium with a measured cellobiose uptake rate of 12.8 mmol gDW-1 hr-1. Also shown is the range of ethanol production that can be achieved at the maximum growth rate See Additional file 1 for details about the genes deleted and the affected reactions.Back to article page
