A kinetic model of oxygen regulation of cytochrome production in Escherichia coli

Recent experimental work has identified the principal components arrayed by Escherichia coli in its sensing of, and response to, varying levels of oxygen. This apparatus may be leveraged/modified by the metabolic engineer to identify nonuniform oxygen and glucose regimens that deliver better yields...

Zusammenfassung:Recent experimental work has identified the principal components arrayed by Escherichia coli in its sensing of, and response to, varying levels of oxygen. This apparatus may be leveraged/modified by the metabolic engineer to identify nonuniform oxygen and glucose regimens that deliver better yields than their uniform counterparts. Toward this end we build and analyse a mathematical model that captures the role played by oxygen in the regulation of cytochrome production in E. coli.
