In metabolic
models, biomass reactions are included to enable the simulation of cell growth
and division via the simultaneous production of all small molecule building
blocks of biomass (e.g. amino acids, lipids, nucleotides, and cofactors); the
product of the biomass reaction is one gram of biomass, while the reactants are
the constituent metabolites that combine to form one gram of biomass.
