identifier: METPO:2000031
label: does not use as carbon source
definition: An OBJECT_PROPERTY asserting that an organism does *not* use a given chemical
  entity as a source of carbon for biosynthesis. The intended use is predicate + class
  composition at assertion time, e.g. `<organism> METPO:2000031 CHEBI:17234` ("organism
  does not use glucose as carbon source"). Negation companion to METPO:2000006.

  notes: Microbial-physiology reference supports the positive form of this relation;
    the negation companion uses the same domain/range with the assertion negated at
    use-site.
