Impact of the cyclic electron flow to photophosphorylation on intracellular metabolic fluxes in A. thaliana. Trends in flux changes of optimal fluxes as calculated for increasing contribution of cyclic electron flow to photophosphorylation (left) and increasing ATP:NADPH ratio (right). How electron flow and ATP: NADPH ratio relate, is described in Additional file 1: Table S8. Optimal growth was considered by averaging the flux value of the top 1 % biomass producing modes, predicted by the simulation of the elementary modes
