English term or phrase: flat slope decrease
there are different kinds of stress to which yeast is exposed (ethanol, osmotic and oxidative) which can result in an inconsistency of the fermentation process. Comparing a heterogeneous population (each cell reacts differently to singular stressors), in contrast to a homogeneous population (same strengths but also weaknesses), heterogeneous populations showed a * flat slope decrease* in viable cells while with homogeneous cells toxic concentrations of stressors had to be higher but then caused nearly total decrease of viable cells at once

Obwohl ich verstehe, was gemeint ist, fällt mir einfach nichts Passendes auf Deutsch ein.

Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe.
