J/mgC

Note: Calculated values were derived either from original data (e.g. from DM/WM and AFDM/DM can be computed AFDM/WM), or by adding external information (mainly the Gnaiger factor for Protein/N and the estimate of energy content from biochemical composition). DM: dry mass; WM: wet mass; AFDM: ash-free dry mass.
