Population Dynamics of a Salmonella Lytic Phage and Its Host: Implications of the Host Bacterial Growth Rate in Modelling
Figure 8
Variations in the model simulation when varying each of the state variables alone in 10% (using as the base case the data from Figure 5).
Legend: • experimental data; ___ model simulation when increasing the variable in 10%; - . - model simulation when decreasing the variable in 10%. The text on the left side of each line graph identifies the variable being analysed. Δ(Si): variation in initial substrate concentration, Δ(Xti): variation in initial total bacteria concentration, Δ(Pi): variation in initial free phage concentration. The x- and y-axis are the same as Figure 5 (x: time [1 8] hours, ySubstrate: [0 5000]; yBacteria: [107 1010]; yPhage: [105 1012]).
