Sensitivity of cellular growth upon the changes in maintenance costs and macromolecular compositions. (A–G). Effect of 50% variation in the stoichiometries/composition of NGAM, GAM, Protein, Carbohydrate, RNA, DNA and Lipid, respectively on growth at different glucose uptake rates. (H) Plot of sensitivity coefficients, which are ratios of change in growth for unit changes in components for biomass equation, including GAM, Protein, Carbohydrate, RNA, DNA and Lipid, at different glucose uptake rates.
