Dynamic Metabolic Flux Analysis Demonstrated on Cultures Where the Limiting Substrate Is Changed from Carbon to Nitrogen and Vice Versa

Table 3

Parameters for the polynomial fitting of the different time series. 𝑊 1 is expressed in fraction of the time between the first measurement and the last measurement. 𝑊 2 is expressed as a fraction of 𝑊 1 . PD is the highest degree a polynomial may have; an L is displayed if the data were fitted to a logistic curve.
