Figure 9From: Genome-scale comparison and constraint-based metabolic reconstruction of the facultative anaerobic Fe(III)-reducer Rhodoferax ferrireducensGrowth on nitrate as electron acceptor and the sole N source. A) Growth on 0.1% glucose and 15 mM nitrate. Ammonia (0.25 g/L) was either added or omitted from the medium. B) Production of nitrite. The medium contained 0.1% lactate and 20 mM nitrate, ammonia was omitted. C) Experimental vs. predicted growth rate ratios with and without added ammonia. D) Experimental vs. predicted ratio of nitrate converted to nitrite.Back to article page
