Structural parameter distributions of Reconstructed networks. Distribution of different structural parameters of 143 different species classified in two groups of facultative and non-facultative organisms with size of 59 and 84 species, respectively. The distributions of a number of genes used in reconstructed metabolic model, b number of input metabolites (transporters), c average in- or out-degree of the networks considering directed links, d average of shortest path between an input metabolite and each of biomass ingredients, e the average of distances between input metabolites and f fraction of essential reactions. p-values are calculated by the Kruskal-Wallis test
