Modeling of Scale-Dependent Bacterial Growth by Chemical Kinetics Approach

Figure 5

Simulation of EPEC growth behavior in an open-flow bacterial chemostat predicting an oscillatory approach to the steady states of the total bacteria and oxygen concentrations. The same parameters as in Figure 3 (SA/V=0.71), flow rate constants 𝑘₅=𝑘₆=2.0×10⁻⁶ s⁻¹; [B]₀ = 4.0×10⁻⁸, [O₂]₀=1.0×10⁻⁴, and [N]₀=8.0×10⁻³M, all others at zero.
