Correcting the biomass objective function
To get feasible results from a model simulation, the biomass objective function (BOF) should add up to 1 mmol/gDW/h. However, this is often not the case, e.g. the BOF of CarveMe does not add up to 1 mmol/gDW/h directly after the draft reconstruction.
Therefore, this needs to be corrected.
The module biomass provides the function check_normalise_biomass()
to check if the BOF of a model is consistent
and if necessary adjusts/normalises the BOF to add up to 1 mmol/gDW/h.
