Comparing AM1 and DZ2

	AM1	DZ2
Specific growth rate μ at [Le] = 0 μM	0.33/h	0.2/h
Specific growth rate at highest lactose concentration	0.81/h ([Le] = 4 mM)	0.42/h ([Le] = 2 mM)
Dynamic range (〈ΔGFP〉)	2.73	0.85

〈ΔGFP〉 = (〈GFP〉_max − 〈GFP〉_min)/〈GFP〉_min (see Eq. M6). Growth rates were interpolated from cell numbers (determined by plating) at the beginning and at the end of a 17 h experiment.
