Figure 3

Nutrients are utilized in different pathways with wide range of metabolic rates. (a and c) Heat map showing normalized maximum metabolic rates for all nutrients associated with carbohydrate pathways (a) and amino acid pathways (c) (green: higher rates, red: lower rates). For every nutrient (left column), normalized maximum metabolic rates are shown in three columns (B. cereus, B. anthracis, and S. aureus) for all pathways that the nutrient is associated with. Nutrients are ordered from top to bottom by their overall average metabolic rate. Pathways are ordered from left to right by their average metabolic rate. (b and d) Bar graphs of normalized maximum metabolic rates for nutrients with top and bottom 10 metabolic rates involved in carbohydrate pathways (b) and amino acid pathways (d). For each bacteria, maximum metabolic rates for nutrients with 10 highest metabolic rates are shown in green, and 10 lowest metabolic rates are red. Maximum metabolic rates are normalized to average of 0 and standard deviation of 1. Gray lines indicate normalized rate of threshold of 3, which is equivalent to three standard deviations greater than the mean. Each nutrient’s maximum metabolic rate is an average from three independent experiments (n = 3). Figure created with Tableau v2020.4.2 (https://www.tableau.com).
