Table 5 Glutamine-derived nitrogen and carbon available for biomass contribution

Glutamine uptake profile	Contributed mmol/g_DCW		Glutamine contribution to total biomass (%)		Glutamine contribution to total nonessential biomass (%)
Glutamine uptake profile	Nitrogen	Carbon	Nitrogen	Carbon	Nitrogen	Carbon
Maximum	4.89	12.2	47.1	29.0	100	57.1
Minimum	1.10	2.75	10.6	6.6	22.5	12.8
Predicted	4.33	10.8	41.6	25.7	88.4	50.5

Biomass contributions are given for maximum, minimum, and predicted glutamine uptake rates. Values are given in mmol/g_DCW, as well as percentages of total and nonessential biomass
