A Generic Mechanism for Adaptive Growth Rate Regulation

The Relationship between the Noise Amplitude σ and the Growth Rate vg
Starting from randomly chosen initial conditions against the noise amplitude σ ranging 10−4 < σ <3, the growth rates vg after 105 time steps are plotted. In the intermediate range σ of the noise strength 10−2 < σ <1, cellular states with high growth rates are selected among a huge number of possible cellular states, as depicted in Figure 2.
