(a) Estimates for growth rates, carrying capacities, and competition coefficients using nonlinear constrained optimization fitting to the Lotka–Volterra competition growth curves using the low (10,000 cell) seeding density experiments. The average of the four replicates for each experimental condition are shown along with the optimized fit to the Lotka–Volterra model. (b) Optimized parameters for growth rates (per day), carrying capacities, and competition coefficients are shown for each experimental condition. The predicted outcome of competition is given in the last column.
