Figure 6. Predicted flux and stoichiometry ratios during LS growth: a) Predicted flux of key reactions associated with energy generation; b) Predicted stoichiometry ratios of ATP to sulfate, acetate to lactate, sulfate to lactate, and CO₂ to lactate. Flux is presented in absolute value without regard to reaction directionality. Archaeoglobus profundus (Apro) and Archaeoglobus veneficus (Aven), are not predicted to grow on lactate/sulfate.
