Figure 6

Steady-state host strain diversity. Plots show: Left: Graphical interpretation of the method for finding steady-state host strain diversity x as x=iwhere i is the lowest integer such that ${\bar{R}}_i>{\widehat{R}}_i$. Dashed line shows the calculated bacterial diversity. Right: Steady-state host strain diversity x as a function of resource supply R₀. Dashed line shows diversity for R₀=2.2μg m l⁻¹. Both plots assume a pool of potential host strains h₁,..,h₁₁with unique growth scaling factors {δ₁,δ₂,..,δ₁₀,δ₁₁}={1.2,1.16,..,0.84,0.8}. Parameters as given in Table 1.
