On 2017 Jan 16, Martine Crasnier-Mednansky commented:
Growth of Escherichia coli on excess glucose under aerobic conditions is NOT diauxic, and the acetate switch is NOT "classically described as a diauxie". It is therefore extraordinary that the authors are now "showing diauxic behavior does not occur under such conditions". A diauxie in the presence of BOTH glucose and acetate was reported by Kao KC, 2005.
