Development of a dynamic continuous‐discrete‐continuous model describing the lag phase of individual bacterial cells

Aims: A previous model for adaptation and growth of individual bacterial cells was not dynamic in the lag phase, and could not be used to perform simulations of growth under non‐isothermal conditions. The aim of the present study was to advance this model by adding a continuous adaptation step, prior to the discrete step, to form a continuous‐discrete‐continuous (CDC) model.
