This characteristic in S. passalidarum agrees with the absence of glycerol formation and better cofactors balance. The metabolites G6P (0.05mM), F6P (0.06mM) and PEP (0.06mM) were at least twice concentrated in S. passalidarum than observed in S. stipitis (0.02mM, 0.03mM and 0.02mM) and S. arborariae (0.02mM, 0.03mM and 0.02mM), respectively. The extracellular flux rates measurements were utilized to simulate the metabolic fluxes and to calculate the carbon fluxes distribution. First, one metabolite was added per simulation and compared to the fluxes obtained experimentally in the MFA-Calculated. Among product formation, ethanol was the major metabolite secreted by all the three yeasts evaluated. (Y-axis) show measured fluxes with respectively metabolites concentrations. 2008;43(4):34650.

Among the simulations of intracellular carbon flux distribution, some reaction rates caught our attention (Fig. 2015;34:189201. Thus, added the extracellular measured flux rates obtained from of middle exponential growth phase to the model. Acetyl-CoA (ACCOA), dihydroxy-acetone-phosphate (DHAP), erythrose-4-phosphate (E4P), fructose-6-phosphate (F6P), glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), malate (MAL), phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), pyruvate (PYR), ribose-5-phosphate (R5P), ribulose-5-phosphate (RU5P), and sedoheptulose-7-phosphate (S7P) were the metabolites measured. In general, our analysis was able to predict 80% of intracellular carbon flux rates with an accuracy above 90% in relationship to calculated and measured flux rates from xylose until ethanol formation. For each replicate, it extracted the intracellular metabolites in three-time points within the exponential growth phase of yeasts. Biotechnol Bioeng.

Sonderegger M, Jeppsson M, Hahn-Hgerdal B, Sauer U. Molecular basis for anaerobic growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on xylose, investigated by global gene expression and metabolic flux analysis. In the yeast S. stipitis, it was observed that from ten metabolites, eight (i.e., 80%) showed a correlation higher than 0.90 between calculated and measured fluxes (Additional file 5a). 6). All experiments performed in biological triplicates.
