Abstract

To explore the diversity of microbial growth responses, we have compiled 247 measurements of half-saturation concentrations K and maximum growth rates gmax from previously-published studies (see Methods). The data includes a wide range of resources, including sources of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, metals, and vitamins, with phosphate, glucose, and nitrate having the largest number of measurements due to their emphasis in marine and laboratory systems.  Organisms include prokaryotes and eukaryotes as well as autotrophs and heterotrophs.

This data has been analyzed in a companion research article. For data plots and a discussion of results, please refer to:
