Population Dynamics of a Salmonella Lytic Phage and Its Host: Implications of the Host Bacterial Growth Rate in Modelling
Figure 4
Simulating the phage and bacteria population dynamics using a distribution of values of the latent period and a variation of the adsorption constant (δ) as a function of the bacterial growth rate (µ) in a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask for a MOI = 1.8E10−2.
