Step.3 Single cell model with hybrid promoter and cell-produced AHL

The differential equaitons of the system considering AHL produced by E.coli themselves were given as

Ex 3-1

Table 3

These equations were normalized as follows:

Ex 3-2

In the steady state,time derivatives are zero.As a result,the nullclines of this system were derived as

Ex 3-3

By substituting the third equation into the second,the nullclines for Ra and Rb were obtained as

Ex 3-4

Therefore, the phase plane of this system can be plotted as Fig.3.1.A-D and the number of equilibrium points were decided by the value of the parameters:

Figure 3.1.D

Fig3.1.A and B indicated that in case of N2=1,N3=1,the phase plane was monostable and in case of N2=2,N3=2,the phase plane was bistable. So, to take bistability the values of Hill coefficients were needed to be more than a certain value. Although the phase plane depended on the value of parameter λ,this value was controlled by changing the RBS of LuxR or the binding sequence of that.
