Sensitivity for gaseous uptake rates of H 2 and CO 2 on lithoautotrophic growth of R. eutropha. (A) Overview of the CBB cycle for carbon fixation and its overall reaction. (B) Mesh plots graph 3D data as a continuous surface for H2 uptake rate, CO2 uptake rate, and growth rate when the O2 uptake rate is 10 mmol gDCW-1 h-1. For simulation of lithoautotrophic growth, the D-fructose uptake rate was constrained to zero and reactions related with CBB cycle were activated.
