growthLimFuncDefault: growth rate limitation function

In microPop: Process-Based Modelling of Microbial Populations

Description

Returns the value of growthLim (must lie in interval [0,1] i.e. unitless) of strainName on varName which is used to scale the maximum growth rate Contains two options - one for essential resources and one for substitutable resources (based on Ballyk and Wolkowicz, 1993)

Usage

growthLimFuncDefault(
  strainName,
  groupName,
  pathName,
  varName,
  resourceValues,
  allSubType,
  strainHalfSat,
  stateVarValues,
  parms
)

Arguments

strainName	Name of the strain that is being looped through in the ODE solver
groupName	Name of microbial group that is being looped through in the ODE solver
pathName	Name of metabolic path (e.g. path1) that is being looped through in the ODE solver
varName	(string) Name of variable (resource) of interest
resourceValues	State vector of resources (with names)
allSubType	Vector of strings (with names corresponding to the resourceNames) which describes the type of each resource ('Rtype') - Rtypes are S (substitutable resource), Se (essential resource), Sb (booster resource), Sm (microbial resource), P (product) and Pb (biomass product)
strainHalfSat	Vector (with names corresponding to the resourceNames) of half-saturation constants for the given strain. If resource is not a substrate for the given strain, the value is NA
stateVarValues	State vector (resources and microbes) (with names)
parms	list of parameter values

Value

scalar giving limitation on growth rate - must be >=0 and <=1
