Modeling
We explored the effect of quorum sensing on the system. Below is a list of equations that were considered in constructing our model. The Arsenic promoter is an example that is used in the following quorum sensing set of modeling equations. In our experiments, we used an IPTG inducible promoter that is upstream of the quorum sensing part and with a downstream cyan fluorescent protein.
As seen from the graph below, the predicted response from using a quorum sensing part is a binary response with a bigger difference between the on and off state. The quorum sensing part amplifies the signal as indicated by the blue line.
