Timing and Variability of Galactose Metabolic Gene Activation Depend on the Rate of Environmental Change

Results of the mathematical model.
A) Simulated standard deviation of the accumulation time as a function of the depletion time for the full model (red dots) and a model lacking the energy scaling (blue dashed line). Note that the energy scaling recreates the non-monotonicity observed in the experiments. B) Box plots of the distributions of the different types of cell cycle lengths for the 3 hr depletion scheme. The red box plots are the experimental data, whereas the blue box plots are obtained from a simulation of Eq. (5). The distribution of the energy availability in the diauxic phase (ϵ) is obtained by fitting the model to the diauxic cell cycle data.
