Comparison of the predicted and measured maximum growth rates under formate without H ₂ and CO₂ with H₂. The blue and orange colors refer to the model predictions and experimental data^12,47, respectively. (a) Comparison of the predicted and measured growth rates (h⁻¹) when the growth medium contained formate without H₂ and CO₂ with H₂. (b) Comparison of the predicted and measured growth yield (gDW mol⁻¹ methane) when the growth medium contained CO₂ with H₂.
