Assessing FBA Optimal States in the Feasible Flux Phenotypic Space

Optimal growth solutions can be confronted with the whole set of feasible flux phenotypes (FFP), which provides a reference map that helps to assess the likelihood of optimal and high-growth states and their extent of conformity with experimental results. In addition, FFP maps are able to uncover me...

More Information
Summary:Optimal growth solutions can be confronted with the whole set of feasible flux phenotypes (FFP), which provides a reference map that helps to assess the likelihood of optimal and high-growth states and their extent of conformity with experimental results. In addition, FFP maps are able to uncover metabolic behaviours that are unreachable using models based on optimality principles. The information content of the full FFP space of metabolic states provides with an entire map to explore and evaluate metabolic behaviour and capabilities, opening new avenues for biotechnological and biomedical applications.
