From: Genome-scale constraint-based modeling of Geobacter metallireducens
In silico characterization of G. metallireducens metabolism. G. metallireducens was simulated to grow with 9 different electron donors (acetate, ethanol, pyruvate, benzoate, benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, phenol, toluene, and 4-cresol) and 2 electron acceptors [fumarate and Fe(III)]. The biomass yields to substrate (gdw/mol substrate) and the acceptor to substrate ratios (mol:mol) predicted by the model are shown in the figures. A. Fumarate as the electron acceptor under donor limiting conditions; B. Fumarate as the electron acceptor and the limiting nutrient; C. Fe(III) as the electron acceptor under donor limiting conditions; and D. Fe(III) as the electron acceptor and the limiting nutrient.
