Fig. 6: Carbon use of heterogeneous population, CS and CS relative to non-heterogeneous population \({{{\boldsymbol{C}}}}_{{{\boldsymbol{S}}}}^{{{\boldsymbol{0}}}}\).

From: Heterogeneous nitrogen fixation rates confer energetic advantage and expanded ecological niche of unicellular diazotroph populations

a CS for various fN. b \(C_S/C_S^0\) for various fN. c CS for various μ. d \(C_S/C_S^0\) for various μ. For a and c the legend in c shows the colors used for each fluxes; Dark green, biosynthesis; Bright green, respiratory energy production for biosynthesis; Orange, electron donation for N2 fixation; Yellow, respiratory energy production for N2 fixation; Cyan, respiratory protection. See Fig. 5 for more detail where similar colors are used for each C flux. Black solid lines at the top of a and c represent the total C fluxes. Black dotted lines in b and d are for \(C_S/C_S^0 = 1\). fN = 0.5, EN = 0.2, and μ = 0.2 (d−1) unless they are variable on the x-axes. Temperature T = 26 °C and O2 concentration in the environment [O2] = 208 µM, representing saturated concentration at this temperature and salinity of 35ppt81.
