Table 2.
Parameter values for the best fits for each bacterial class: fast-growing hosts, slow-growing hosts, pathogenic hosts (path.) and non-pathogenic hosts (non-path.). Relative rates have been normalized by the degradation rate, rD, and are unitless. The parameter nI gives the estimated number of genes required to initiate the induction process. Dashes indicate parameters that were not included in the model that was the best fit to the data.
