Model Construction


Description

  • We chose to use a chemostat. We want to impose to our model the fact that the rate of production has to be proportional to the existing population and to the amount of available resources.
  • We assume a logistic model for the population kinetics in the chemostat (reference).
  • To archieve synchronization we use QS. Explain the principle?

Kinetics

  • On the one hand, the concentration of cells (c) increase exponentialy with a velocity given by the growth rate (αcell). After a certain time, the population reaches a maximum concentration (cmax). As a consequence, the concentration of cells in the medium can be expressed in terms of a production (positive) term and degradation (negative) terms, as:

  • To model the quorum sensing dynamics, we consider the production of HSL as:

eqHSL 1,

the transport of HSL is given by:

eqHSL 2,

and the activation of envZ depends of the concentration of HSL according to:

eqHSL 3.
