Detecting differential growth of microbial populations with Gaussian process regression.
Microbial growth curves are used to study differential effects of media, genetics, and stress on microbial population growth. Consequently, many modeling frameworks exist to capture microbial population growth measurements. However, current models are designed to quantify growth under conditions for which growth has a specific functional form. Extensions to these models are required to quantify...
متن کاملSwitching and growth for microbial populations in catastrophic responsive environments.
Phase variation, or stochastic switching between alternative states of gene expression, is common among microbes, and may be important in coping with changing environments. We use a theoretical model to assess whether such switching is a good strategy for growth in environments with occasional catastrophic events. We find that switching can be advantageous, but only when the environment is resp...
متن کاملBernoulli matrix approach for matrix differential models of first-order
The current paper contributes a novel framework for solving a class of linear matrix differential equations. To do so, the operational matrix of the derivative based on the shifted Bernoulli polynomials together with the collocation method are exploited to reduce the main problem to system of linear matrix equations. An error estimation of presented method is provided. Numerical experiments are...
متن کاملGrowth dynamics and the evolution of cooperation in microbial populations
Microbes providing public goods are widespread in nature despite running the risk of being exploited by free-riders. However, the precise ecological factors supporting cooperation are still puzzling. Following recent experiments, we consider the role of population growth and the repetitive fragmentation of populations into new colonies mimicking simple microbial life-cycles. Individual-based mo...
متن کاملOptimal Resting-Growth Strategies of Microbial Populations in Fluctuating Environments
Bacteria spend most of their lifetime in non-growing states which allow them to survive extended periods of stress and starvation. When environments improve, they must quickly resume growth to maximize their share of limited nutrients. Cells with higher stress resistance often survive longer stress durations at the cost of needing more time to resume growth, a strong disadvantage in competitive...
