In the published article, there were mistakes in the values in Table 1, particularly in the elemental ratio values for protein, RNA and DNA as published. Here, we provide a revised table with the corrected values (Table 1). After the value correction, we reoptimized the parameters (Supplementary Table 5), which produce nearly identical results with the original version (examples in Figure C1).
Figure C1
Table 1
| Molecule | C:N:P | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Chlorophyll | 55:4:0 | Chlorophyll A |
| Protein | 3.82:1:0 | Average value based on (Brown, 1991) |
| RNA | 9.5:3.78:1 | Based on CG = 0.563: Synechococcus spp.* |
| DNA | 9.72:3.78:1 | Based on CG = 0.563: Synechococcus spp.* |
| P lipid | 40:0:1 | Phosphatidylglycerol with C16 fatty acids |
| C store | 1:0:0 | Carbohydrate and non-phospholipid |
| N store | 2:1:0 | Cyanophycin |
| P store | 0:0:1 | Polyphosphate |
