Chemostat competition experiments. Experiments were carried out between Genr0 (red) and 445C1 (blue) at a dilution rate of 0.2 h^− 1 (a) and 0.3 h^− 1 (b). Marks represent averages and standard deviations based on experimental data. Line depicts results from in silico simulations using the model presented here parameterized based on the population dynamics observed during the evolution experiments at a D = 0.5 h^− 1 (Additional file 1: Figure S8)
