Table 2. MEND model parameter values used for simulation of the experiment described in Fig. 3 of Stolpovsky et al. (2011).

Parameter	Fitted Value*	Initial Range	Description
mR	0.032, [0.011–0.048]	0.001–0.1	Specific maintenance rate for active biomass (h−1)
α	0.099, [0.045–0.181]	0.001–0.50	mR/(μG+mR), μG is specific growth rate (h−1)
Ks	3.110, [1.387–5.652]	0.1–9.0	Half-saturation constant for substrate (mg L−1)
YG	0.573, [0.463–0.600]	0.2–0.6	Growth yield factor (–)
Ko	0.0008, [0.0007–0.001]	0.005–0.1	Half-saturation constant for dissolved oxygen (mM)
β	0.351, [0.001–1.000]	0.001–1	Ratio of dormant maintenance rate to mR
r 0	0.925, [0.628–1.000]	0–1	Initial fraction of active biomass (–)

*Medians and 95% confidence intervals of the fitted values from 100 optimization runs, i.e., 100 different random seeds are used for the stochastic optimization algorithm.
