Figure 5-3a: Computer-simulated chemostats. Panel A: Chemostats were simulated employing the method and parameter values of Bohannan and Lenski (14). Time steps here are 1 min rather than 3 min; the initial host (solid lines) and phage (dotted lines) densities are 10⁴/ml and 10⁵/ml, respectively. Unless otherwise noted the limiting nutrient is glucose, which is found in the chemostat reservoir at a density of 0.5 mg/liter.
