1.Concept & Model

We made a bacterial society that follows Pareto's principle as an Ant society does.(more…)

1.coexistence

2.Removal of Worker

3.coexistence again

2.Requirements

Our requirements to construct this model are two things, bistability and coexistence by cell-cell communication.(more…)

3.Genetic circuit

We designed the genetic circuit to satisfy its requirements and developed necessary new parts(more…).

　　　　　　　　　　Our constructed parts are Here!!!

4.Works

The simulation using parameters obtained from our wet experiments for our brand-new part indicated that the whole system becomes unstable when there are only idlers left, and then, they can differentiate into either of workers and idlers. Also we have determined other parameters necessary for the desired behavior of this system. (more…)
