Mathematical model and simulations. Computer simulation results for the changes in the densities of phage populations. Unless otherwise stated, the parameters used to simulate were: k=1, e= 5·10^-7 μg/cell, v 2.0 h^-1, δ=2·10-7 h^-1cell^-1, β=60 phages/cell. (A) Changes in phage densities after 23 hours when testing different values of μ_N. (B) Changes in phage densities after 23 hours when testing different values of μ_R. (C) Changes in phage densities for 21 days of serial passage (dilution factor of 0.01) when testing different values of μ_R.
