Optimal proteome allocation and the temperature dependence of microbial growth laws

Abstract Although the effect of temperature on microbial growth has been widely studied, the role of proteome allocation in bringing about temperature-induced changes remains elusive. To tackle this problem, we propose a coarse-grained model of microbial growth, including the processes of temperatur...
