Fig. 1From: Escherichia coli metabolism under short-term repetitive substrate dynamics: adaptation and trade-offsSchematic representation of the feast–famine setup used in this work. The medium, containing glucose as a substrate, was fed block-wise (20 s on, 380 s off) through a head-plate port. A constant volume was maintained by weight control. Successive cycles run for about 200 h in totalBack to article page
