Predicted evolution of conversion factor X, total microbial biomass, and cell density with different maximum microbial densities at the water-oil interface and with different mean oil droplet size. Left column: Effects of maximum cell density with the oil droplet mean diameter of 100 μm. Right column: Effects of maximum cell density with the oil droplet mean diameter of 10 μm. Initial microbial and oil concentrations are 2.73 × 103 cells/ml and 0.4 mg/L, respectively. The value of CV is 1.4.
