Letting S1 be a rare mutant, we define its ability to invade a majority strain, S2, as follows: where wS1 is the fitness of the potential invader (S1) in direct competition with S2, as described in Equation 1, and is the mean fitness of S2 cells in a pure S2 biofilm, which approximates mean fitness in the population.
