An ODE model of the gene regulation network governing sporulation initiation in Bacillus subtilis to be run in Matlab.

The network incorporates four sporulation-related signals: nutrient supply, DNA damage, the products of the competence genes and the bacterial population size.

Run execute_bacillus_sporulation_initiation.m to simulate the model. This file also contains the signal-related parameters which can be altered to investigate the effect of competing signals.

Quorum sensing(QS) allows the bacteria to monitor their surroundings and the size of their population. Staphylococcus aureus makes use of QS to regulate the production of virulence factors. This mathematical model of the QS system in S aureus was presented and analyzed (Journal of Mathematical Biology(2010) 61:17–54) in order to clarify the roles of the distinct interactions that make up the QS process, demonstrating which reactions dominate the behaviour of the system at various timepoints. ...

An ODE model representing the metabolic network governing acid and solvent production by Clostridium acetobutylicum (Haus et al. BMC Systems Biology 2011, 5:10), incorporating the effect of pH upon gene regulation and subsequent end-product levels. This model describes the third of four experiments in which the pH of the culture was shifted. For this experiment acidogenesis at pH 5.7 was maintained for 121 hours, after which the pH control was stopped, allowing the natural metabolic shift to the ...

An ODE model representing the metabolic network governing acid and solvent production by Clostridium acetobutylicum (Haus et al. BMC Systems Biology 2011, 5:10), incorporating the effect of pH upon gene regulation and subsequent end-product levels. This model describes the last of four experiments in which the pH of the culture was shifted. For this experiment the pH shift was reversed compared to the first three (shift from pH 4.5 to 5.7), with the pH control switched off after 129 hours. ...

BMC Systems Biology 2011, 5:10), incorporating the effect of pH upon gene regulation and subsequent end-product levels. This model describes the second of four experiments in which the pH of the culture was shifted. For this experiment acidogenesis at pH 5.7 was maintained for 137.5 hours, after which the pH control was stopped, allowing the natural metabolic shift to ...

Bacillus subtilis cells may opt to forgo normal cell division and instead form spores if subjected to certain environmental stimuli, for example nutrient deficiency or extreme temperature. The gene regulation net-work governing sporulation initiation accordingly incorporates a variety of signals and is of significant complexity. The present model (Bulletin of Mathematical Biology (2011) 73:181–211) includes four of these signals: nutrient levels, DNA damage, the products of the competence genes, ...
