Microbial carbon-source comparison

// Compare growth under defined carbon conditions with independent cultures as experimental units.
// Synthetic worked example: all entities, schedules and measurements are illustrative.
// Every string below is EXAMPLE text from a fictional model: replace it.
// Replace assumptions and inputs before applying this model to actual work.
