ObjectiveThe main purpose of modeling was to characterize the topography of the kinetics behind foreign protein/product production in recombinant E.Coli biofilm with a diffusing inducer, and the effect on the various species involved by primarily the following factors:
ModelingOverall ModelUsing enzyme kinetics equations, we elected to mathematically simulate the following model: Variables
EquationsThe differential of the variables were found as follows:
IPTG DiffusionFirst, Fick's Law of Diffusion was modeled through MATLAB. The diffusion constant used was 220um^2/s.[4]
Semi-Empirical Determination---Under Development--- The initial plan was to use a lacI-constitutive expression / lac-operon expression part with GFP to acquire data to fit the model. Fitted ModelMatlab was used to generate a theoretical model where IPTG would diffuse down the biofilm as according to Fick's Law of Diffusion and initiate the process. The extracellular substrate concentration was assumed to be much greater than the uptake/use, and so would diffuse in at a constant rate. This model was fitted with empirical data using cp-lacpi-gfp to estimate the rate constant, and therefore the effects of varying cp, lacpi, and rbs on enzyme and final product production.
