From: The use of genome-scale metabolic network reconstruction to predict fluxes and equilibrium composition of N-fixing versus C-fixing cells in a diazotrophic cyanobacterium, Trichodesmium erythraeum

Fig. 1

Growth curves and biomass compositions of T. erythraeum. Cells were grown with either ambient air (circles/left and blue) or potassium nitrate (triangles/right and dark cyan) as the nitrogen source in YBCII medium and growth was monitored by measuring total chlorophyll a content. a) Growth curves of cells in different nitrogen sources and computational growth. Error bars represent standard deviation from 3 biological replicates. b) Biomass composition of T. erythraeum. The major elements of biomass were measured directly from cultures grown on diatomic nitrogen (ambient air) or potassium nitrate. Error bars represent standard error from 6 biological replicates
