Relationship between 50% inhibition of growth rate (dotted line) and the inhibition of biomass measured as yield (continuous line) and AUC (area under the curve, dashed line) for exponentially growing species, shown on the y-axis. The relationship depends only on the uninhibited exponential growth rate (control growth rate) shown on the x-axis and the test duration shown exemplary as 3 and 14 days. For comparison, growth rates of 0.1, 0.4, 0.7 and 1 correspond to doubling times of 7, 1.7, 1 and 0.7 days, respectively. For further information on the formulas used, see Additional file 1
