Discussion

  • no growth after 2 d at 25 C
  • no reproduction after 9.5 d at 20 C
  • CO2 production includes assimilation contributions
  • Growth is mostly by (fast) uptake of water, meaning that p_M is unrealistically high
  • weights of several pseudodata points were decreased

Facts

  • Rotifers have a fixed number of cells (some 1000), which does not increase after birth. (Ref: Wiki_Roti)
