Concept & Model

A bacterial society designed in this project follows Pareto's principle as an Ant society does. To realize this model, the behaviors of the model - bistability of each individual and the system's stability under the coexsistence of the two types - have been confirmed in silico and in virto.

This model is based on two principles - bistability and coexistence by cell-cell communication. See more.

2. Works

2-a. Genetic circuits

2-b. Combinatione of Wet & Dry

0. Wet :　Hybrid promoter

1. Dry :　 Formulation

2. Wet : 　Assay

For the parameters of Hill coefficients by AHL and IPTG assays |

3. Dry : 　Simulation

4. Wet : 　Assay

We tested whether our plasmids gave the other parameters to satisfy the simulation by the experiments using E. coli.

5. Future works

Continue this combinational approaches to sophisticate our model. See more.
