Before revision:  However , it was recently shown that assuming the existence of metabolic trade-offs - in allocating a limited enzyme production capacity - can lead to unlimited diversity, when nutrients are steadily supplied. Do such trade-offs permit diversity under more realistic, intermittent conditions of nutrient supply?
