Exercises: 30 min

Questions

• How can I calculate the maximum possible yield for a desired product?

• How does product yield vary with growth?

Objectives

• Learn how to calculate molar, mass, and c-mol yields.

• Use phenotypic_phase_plane to observe the product vs. growth tradeoff.

Key Points

• Set the exchange reaction of the product as the model objective using model.objective.

• Optimize the model and divide the product flux by the carbon source uptake flux to determine the molar yield.
