Figure 4From: Consequences of phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotranferase system and pyruvate kinase isozymes inactivation in central carbon metabolism flux distribution in Escherichia coliMetabolic flux distribution and Pyk activity. Metabolic flux distribution and Pyk activities of strains W3110 (reference), VH33 (PTS- glc+), VH34 (PTS- glc+pykA-) and VH35 (PTS- glc+pykF-) (from dark to light blue respectively). The figure shows the relative flux of each strain. Between PEP and PYR nodes a graph bar of Pyk activity is depicted. In parenthesis, next to the strains names, the specific glucose consumption rates (mmol / g · h) are shown.Back to article page
