Tables S1 and S2 contain all compound and reaction data associated with the model, respectively; Table S3 lists all of the open problem reactions in the model; Table S4 lists all of the essential genes that have nonessential homologs in the B. subtilis genome; Table S5 lists all of the changes made to the model during the model optimization process; Table S6 lists the reactions in the Oh et al. model that are not in the iBsu1103 model; Table S7 shows simulation results for all 1,500 experimental conditions; Table S8 provides the details on the media formulations used for each FBA simulation; and Tables S9, S10, and S11 show all data on the genes, functional roles, and subsystems in the B. subtilis SEED annotation.

These molfiles reflect the structure of the predominant ionic form of the compounds at neutral pH as predicted using the MarvinBeans software [28]. These structures were used with the group contribution method [40-42] to estimate the ΔfG'° and ΔrG'° for the compounds and reactions in the model.
