Figure 6: Diversification during simulated evolution in a chemostat environment.
From: Evolutionary pressures on microbial metabolic strategies in the chemostat
(A) The top panels show the time evolution of the biomass density of the different phenotypes. These phenotypes differ in their respiratory ratio and investment in transport proteins. First, fermenters starts invading, later followed by respirers. (B) The lower panels show the conditions in the chemostat and the average investment in transport protein during the first 1000 days of the simulated experiment, after that these are fairly constant. Note the logarithmic scale of the time axes.
