  1. Note: Mutants were identified from a CRISPRi library based on L-lactate productivity. Appearance is the number of sorting runs (out of four) where that clone had an enrichment factor of at least 2 (normalized abundance in sorted population/normalized abundance in unsorted population). Clones where growth was impaired are denoted. These clones were significantly depleted in the L300 dataset after four generations (ssr2016_62, padj = 1.6e−94; gltA_41, padj = 3.1e−53; pcnB_64, padj = 1.5e−58; serA_10, padj = 3.6e−21; gltB_3, padj = 0.015; multiple-hypothesis adjusted p-values calculated by DESeq2). An asterisk denotes sgRNA mutants selected for reconstruction and validation. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
