Fig. 4. — Relative error between our dynamic approach and the static, diffusion limitation-corrected MM approach. The error related to the growth rate, Δ_μ, increases as [S] decreases, reaching in this specific example 19 ± 2%. (Inset) The error related to the break-even concentration, , increases with the dilution rate w, that is, the frequency of the changes in environmental conditions. The behaviors of both Δ_μ and indicate an enhanced survival probability for organisms that can regulate the kinetic parameters.
