resourceSysInfo: resourceSysInfo

In HelenKettle/microPop: Modelling Microbial Populations

Description

Data frame describing the system information for the state variables that are resources (i.e. substrates or metabolic products).

Usage

resourceSysInfo

Format

A dataframe with the row names in the itemised list below and a column for units (optional) and for each resource in the system to be simulated.

Details

Each resource (substrate, metabolic product or biomass if microbes are a resource e.g. in the case of viruses) has a column. The first column can be used for describing the units of each variable. This is optional and just for clarity - it is not used within microPop (note, the units column must be labelled 'units'). The data frame must contain the following rows:

• startValue The value of each resource at the start time of the simulation (e.g. units are g/l)

• inflowRate The value of the rate of inflow of each resource (e.g. units are g/l/d)

• washOut The specific washout rate of each resource (e.g. units are /d)

• molarMass The mass in grams of one mole of the resource (units are g/mol)
