cobra_model: A Model object.
the_components: None or a list of external boundary reactions that will be sequentially disabled.
the_medium: Is None, a string, or a dictionary. If a string then the initialize_growth_medium function expects that the_model has an attribute dictionary called media_compositions, which is a dictionary of dictionaries for various medium compositions. Where a medium composition is a dictionary of external boundary reaction ids for the medium components and the external boundary fluxes for each medium component.
medium_compartment: the compartment in which the boundary reactions supplying the medium components exist
NOTE: that these fluxes must be negative because the convention is backwards means something is feed into the system.

(model, metabolite_id, Universal, dm_rxns=False, ex_rxns=False, penalties=None, **solver_parameters)[source]¶ runs the SMILEY algorithm to determine which gaps should be filled in order for the model to create the metabolite with the given metabolite_id.
This function is good for running the algorithm once. For more fine- grained control, create a SUXModelMILP object, add a demand reaction for the given metabolite_id, and call the solve function on the SUXModelMILP object.

14.1.3.6. cobra.flux_analysis.loopless module¶

(cobra_model, already_irreversible=False, fraction_of_optimum=1.0, solver=None, desired_objective_value=None, **optimize_kwargs)[source]¶ Perform basic pFBA (parsimonius FBA) and minimize total flux.
The function attempts to act as a drop-in replacement for optimize. It will make the reaction reversible and perform an optimization, then force the objective value to remain the same and minimize the total flux. Finally, it will convert the reaction back to the irreversible form it was in before. See http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/msb.2010.47
cobra_model :
Model
object- already_irreversible : bool, optional
- By default, the model is converted to an irreversible one. However, if the model is already irreversible, this step can be skipped
- fraction_of_optimum : float, optional
- Fraction of optimum which must be maintained. The original objective reaction is constrained to be greater than maximal_value * fraction_of_optimum. By default, this option is specified to be 1.0
- desired_objective_value : float, optional
- A desired objective value for the minimal solution that bypasses the initial optimization result.
