Measuring and modeling energy and power consumption in living microbial cells with a synthetic ATP reporter

Abstract Background Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the main energy carrier in living organisms, critical for metabolism and essential physiological processes. In humans, abnormal regulation of energy levels (ATP concentration) and power consumption (ATP consumption flux) in cells is associated with...
