BioMog proposed de novo biomass equations for E. coli and S. oneidensis.

Unique metabolites were those compounds for which there was no alternative that would have maximized the objective function. Conversely, metabolites which possessed alternatives could be replaced with another compound without adversely impacting the objective function. Abbreviations used were as follows: 2omhmbl, 2-octaprenyl-3-methyl-5-hydroxy-6-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinol, 4c2me, 4-(cytidine 5′-diphospho)-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol, murein5p3p_p, two linked disacharide pentapeptide and tripeptide murein units (uncrosslinked, middle of chain), nadp, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, pe181, phosphatidylethanolamine (dioctadec-11-enoyl, n-C18:1), uagmda, undecaprenyl-diphospho-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamyl-meso-2,6-diaminopimeloyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine, gdptp, guanosine 3′-diphosphate 5′-triphosphate.
