  1. (Note: Whereas the flux values for CYOO2 and SO3De are calculated by multiplying the reaction flux (not shown) and the stoichiometry coefficient of the cytochrome c, the flux values for RBFK, RBFSb and FMNRx are calculated by multiplying the reaction flux (not shown) and the stoichiometry coefficient of the riboflavin or FMN.)
  2. The flux ranges were calculated from the FATMIN algorithm.
