Metabolism Model
The FBA model allows us to run quick simulations on the growth of the E. coli on various environmental conditions [source]. Below is a specific simulation with just FBA, assuming the E. coli was growing in aerobic conditions on various carbon sources, all at the maximum flux of -10 mM/(gram of DW * hr).
The yield was predicted through maximizing the fluxes of reactions ATP synthase (with 4 protons per ATP) and both polyphosphate kinases.

Table 3. Conversion of growth flux to doubling time
The yield was predicted through maximizing the fluxes of reactions ATP synthase (with 4 protons per ATP) and both polyphosphate kinases. It is known that E. coli can double at a faster rate of 20 mins, however this model is scaled to wild type variety that is not necessarily optimized to grow at top speed. The growth flux for E.coli just on glucose is the default setting of the model. To scale it to 20 min doubling time requires only scaling the biomass growth reaction in the model to the values needed for doubling time. For our simulation, we opted for default setting and more realistic timescales for these transformed bacteria.
