Gene Knockout Identification Using an Extension of Bees Hill Flux Balance Analysis

Table 5

Comparison between different methods for growth rate and BPCY of ethanol by B. subtilis.

Method	Growth rate (1/hr)	BPCY	List of knockout genes
BHFBA	122.9089		ALAD_L, GPDH, LDH_L
BAFBA [9]	122.8861		ALAD_L, LDH_L, XYLI1, inosose 2,3-dehydratase

Note. The bold numbers represent the best result. N/A: not applicable. Common genes for all methods. BPCY is in gram (gram-glucose·hour)⁻¹.
