Model properties obtained for balanced growth under constant light. (A) The maximal growth rate $\lambda$ as a function of light intensity. The growth rate $\lambda$ is consistent with a Monod growth law (see also SI Appendix, Fig. S2). (B) Oxygen evolution as a function of the growth rate $\lambda$. (C) Ribosome content per cell as a function of the growth rate $\lambda$, assuming a cell dry mass of $1.5\mathrm{pg}$. (D) The cellular composition for a light intensity of $150\mu \mathrm{mol}$ of photons ${\mathrm{m}}^{-2}\cdot {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$.
