Stability and Reachability Analysis of a Hybrid Model of Luminescence in the Marine Bacterium Vibrio Scheri
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the mathematical modeling and analysis of the quorum sensing system found in uni-cellular bacteria that exhibit bioluminescence. The luminescence is governed by the expression of genes in the cell, which in turn is controlled by the density of cells in a population. The paper illustrates the application of standard tools in control theory and some recent tools in hybrid systems to the quorum sensing system, and demonstrates that bioluminescence can be modeled and understood as the output of a switched, dynamic system.

متن کاملIsolation and molecular identification of Vibrio alginolyticus from cultured marine fish in farms located south provinces of Iran
Bacterial diseases are a major challenge and warning to the development of aquaculture industry. Vibriosis is caused by bacteria of the genus Vibrio, especially Vibrio alginolyticus, in warm and temperate regions, which cause severe damages to the marine fish production economy every year. The aim of the present study was to isolate and identify this bacterium from farmed marine fish with bacte...

This paper discusses the controllability problem of gene regulation networks from the systems and control point of view. First, we consider what kind of controllability problems are useful for analyzing and controlling gene networks. Next, based on a probabilistic approach for the controllability analysis of hybrid dynamical systems, this paper provides a method to solve a kind of controllabili...
متن کاملIn silico structural analysis of quorum sensing genes in Vibrio fischeri
Quorum sensing controls the luminescence of Vibrio fischeri through the transcriptional activator LuxR and the specific autoinducer signal produced by luxI. Amino acid sequences of these two genes were analyzed using bioinformatics tools. LuxI consists of 193 amino acids and appears to contain five α-helices and six ß-sheets when analyzed by SSpro8. LuxI belongs to the autoinducer synthetase fa...
