Effects of growth rate, cell size, motion, and elemental stoichiometry on nutrient transport kinetics
Fig 5
Relationship between the minimum N:C quota, cell size, and the DIN concentration required to support G0.5.
Gmax = 0.693 d-1 for motile and non-motile protists alike. The green layer is for DIN at the cell surface (S0), and is the same in both plots; the red layers are for DIN in the bulk medium (S∞), and thus is the value of KG. In all instances, NCmax = 0.18.
