Abstract
We consider a population dynamics model coupling cell growth to a diffusion in the space of metabolic phenotypes as it can be obtained from realistic constraints-based modelling.
In the asymptotic regime of slow
diffusion, that coincides with the relevant experimental range, the resulting
non-linear Fokker–Planck equation is solved for the steady state in the WKB
approximation that maps it into the ground state of a quantum particle in an
Airy potential plus a centrifugal term. We retrieve scaling laws for growth rate
fluctuations and time response with respect to the distance from the maximum
growth rate suggesting that suboptimal populations can have a faster response
to perturbations.
