(a) Reducing sugar concentration prevents ecological suicide. At moderate concentrations, the addition of bactericidal substances like antibiotics (b), alcohol (c) or high amounts of sodium chloride (d) can save the population from ecological suicide. Open circles and shaded regions depict respectively mean and SEM of four replicates (orange: fold growth, gray: pH). All values are final values of 24h.
