Fig 4. Specific microbial growth rate as a function of temperature according to Eqs (20) and (21).

Experimental data are taken from [47] (◊), [48] (▫), and [49] (∘). A rescaling factor of 0.382 is used to take into account that these data were obtained from experiments in BHI medium supporting higher specific growth rates than M9 media [37, 49].
