=Synchronizing the oscillations at a population level= In order to make our system easier to observe, we need to extend and synchronize the oscillations at a population scale. The best way to do so is to insert a check-point that can be overcome only if the major part of the population has reached it. The phenomenon of quorum-sensing is the way bacteria synchronize the expression of genes when the density of bacteria is important enough.

The existence of this intercellular communication system causes another delay at the end of each cycle. According to our models, this delay creates good quality oscillations. The global system is represented on the following network.
