Quiescence refers to a reversible state in which cells exhibit low metabolic activity, do not divide, and enjoy a lower death rate. Certain microbial populations exercise this capability to survive stress such as lack of resource, extreme temperature, and antibiotic regime. In this monograph, fitness of a quiescence-capable population is quantified using some linear systems of ordinary differential equations, and compared with that of a quiescence-incapable population, in order to examine the benefit of quiescence in a time-varying environment. Nonlinear deterministic models based on ordinary ...
