Natural Selection as a Process That Increases Metabolic Entropy Production? A Regime-Dependent Analysis in Open Chemostat Systems with Michaelis–Menten Kinetics and Mutation–Selection Dynamics

We analyse whether Darwinian natural selection acts as a metabolic-entropy-production-increasing process in a model of an open chemostat ecosystem, where Michaelis–Menten uptake kinetics are grounded in a thermodynamically consistent mesoscopic chemical-reaction-network model, an...
