ParticulateEPS
The final species currently defined in the general iDynoMiCS code is ParticulateEPS. This species is composed entirely of the capsule particle type, and includes the parameters common to all species.
This species often includes a hydrolysis reaction, which converts COD bound in EPS into soluble COD. Note that if a bacterium species includes a capsule of this species of ParticulateEPS, the EPS species MUST be defined first in the protocol file in order to avoid an error; because of this the example protocol files included in iDynoMiCS list ParticulateEPS as the first defined species.
