Modeling the Differences in Biochemical Capabilities of Pseudomonas Species by Flux Balance Analysis: How Good Are Genome-Scale Metabolic Networks at Predicting the Differences?

Table 3

Relative cell growth estimated visually from amount of growth on amino acid.

Amino acid	P. aeruginosa		P. fluorescens
	In silico data (mmol·gDW^−1·hr^−1)	Biological data	In silico data (mmol·gDW^−1·hr^−1)	Biological data
L-threonine	0.405	++	0.982	−
L-tryptophan	0	++	0	++
L-hydroxyproline	N/I	+	N/I	++

++: good growth; +: poor growth; −: no growth; N/I: uptake reaction not included in the model.
