  1. *Minor growth at the beginning is not considered
  2. The values were calculated from triplicate experiments and the error ranges represent standard deviations. The time intervals for rate and yield calculations were chosen such that they covered the exponential growth phase (growth-coupled production) or the interval where glucose was not yet depleted (under growth arrest)
