“…S2) and the standard deviation set to half the mean, or 0.25, the geometric distribution parameter p of the rRNA copy numbers was set to 0.8 (in the geometric distribution, (1 – p ) k –1 p, k is the copy number and p represents the fraction of the starting community with copy number = 1), the mortality rate δ was set to 0.07, the activation energy E was set to 0.33 eV, and the prefactor a set to 170,000. In case 2), the mean of the normal distribution of α ij was randomly drawn from a uniform distribution [0.1, 1] and the standard deviation was set to half the mean, the geometric distribution parameter p of the rRNA copy numbers was drawn from a uniform distribution [0.6, 0.9], the mortality rate δ was drawn from a uniform distribution [0.03, 0.2]( 42 ), and the activation energy E was drawn from a uniform distribution [0.1 eV, 0.6 eV] ( 71, 72 ), with the prefactor a set to the mean of 0.46e E /( k B *300) and 0.05 e E /(k B *,278) (ensuring that growth rates with the highest copy number at high temperature did not exceed realistic rates, and that the growth rate of species with copy number = 1 exceeded most mortality rates at the lowest temperatures).…”
