Probing bacterial fitness in virtual chemostats
The growth rate of a bacterial population is a fundamental quantity in microbiology, but hard to predict from mechanistic single-cell models. Simulating exponentially growing cell populations is computationally infeasible, and single-lineage estimates are biased as they do not account for phenotypic selection between cells. We present computational algorithms to efficiently estimate growth rates…
