Simplified schematic of central carbon metabolism. Rectangular boxes contain branchpoint metabolite intermediates, and rounded rectangular boxes contain amino acid and fatty acid products that can be incorporated into biomass macromolecules. Arrows indicate carbon flux. Additional metabolic intermediates are not shown; instead, they are implicitly lumped into pools with displayed metabolites (e.g., fructose 6-phosphate with G6P)
