Additional file 1:

Lists of assigned reaction directions. This Excel file contains three sheets with (i) the list of reactions that were assigned by the standard assignment procedure, (ii) the list of reactions in case the final electron acceptors are additionally considered, and (iii) the lists of reactions that were assigned manually to obtain a thermodynamically reasonable model. In the first two sheets, we also report in which assignment step a direction was defined by our algorithm.
