Effects of growth rate, cell size, motion, and elemental stoichiometry on nutrient transport kinetics
Fig 6
Relationship between N-status (N:C) and Tmax for cells of different size.
Calculations were undertaken using Eqs 5, 6 and 7. Here Gmax = 0.693 d-1, KTcon = 0.1, maximum and minimum N:C at 0.18 and 0.05, respectively; the cellular carbon density was assumed to be fixed at 150gC (cell L)-1 (i.e., C150); the maximum transporter rate density was set at TRDmax = 0.4 pgN μm-2 d-1.
