Quantifying the optimal strategy of population control of quorum sensing network in Escherichia coli

Abstract Biological functions of bacteria can be regulated by monitoring their own population density induced by the quorum sensing system. However, quantitative insight into the system’s dynamics and regulatory mechanism remain challenging. Here, we construct a comprehensive mathematical model of t...
