Test if the model grows too fast ( >2 hasn't been reported yet) about memote HOT 1 CLOSED

I've tried to find the bacterium with the fastest growth rate/ shortest doubling time and found a couple of hits with various credibility.

This article reports a doubling time for bacteria to be between 4 - 20 minutes. This one likewise reports a short doubling time of 10 minutes for a rare extremophile, while this one surpasses the previous one with a close 9.8 minutes for the doubling time of Vibrio natriegens DSMZ 759. They further state that 'the fastest growth with doubling times below 7 min was obtained only when the optical density (OD) of liquid cultures was very low (OD at 600 nm of between 0.05 and 0.1) and the cultures were under strong aeration.'.

With doubling_time [h] = ln(2) / growth rate [h^-1] the fastest 'reported' growth rate would thus be: ln(2)/(4/60) = 15log(2) = 10.3972 [h^-1]

For now, this is the upper limit that we will test for models, however it might be changed if faster growths in even more highly-optimised conditions are reported.
