Parameter settings and their descriptions. Values are held constant unless noted otherwise.
| Parameter name | Value | Description |
| Temperature | 0.4 | Constant temperature for metropolis probability calculations | Gravity | 0.1 | A weak gravitational bias on the metropolis probability | Growth rate scale | 0.3 | This value is used to scale the aggregate transition counts from activated to resting states, in order to determine cell division probability |
| Bubble creation probability | 0.0001 | Probability of creating a bubble at the sparger | Bubble movement probability | 0.5 | Probability that a bubble moves upward or laterally |
| Illumination | 0.5 | Scaling of illumination , where | Illumination | 5.0 | Exponent of photoattenuation into the medium. Higher values attenuate light faster and cause less light to penetrate toward the centre of the vessel |
| | 0.8 | Probability that a cell transitions from resting state to activated state | | 0.7 | Probability that a cell transitions from activated state to inhibited state | | 0.1 | Probability that a cell transitions from activated state to resting state | | 0.01 | Probability that a cell transitions from inhibited state to resting state |
| Cell Death probability | 0.001 | Probability coefficient applied to and to determine whether to destroy a cell (used for including biomass reduction at over- and underillumination) |
