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.

Here, we use hyperbolic tangents to fit experimental data of AB fermentation in C. acetobutylicum in continous culture at steady state for different external pHs. The estimated parameters are used to define acidogenic and solventogenic phase. Furthermore, an transition phase is identified which cannot be assigned to acidogenesis or solventogenesis.

Several plots compare the fits to the experimental data.

This function estimates the parameters of growth functions of the acid-forming and solvent-forming population observed in 'forward'-shift experiments of phosphate-limited continuous cultures of C. acetobutylicum. The parameters are used in the 'Two-Populations'-Model of the pH-induced metabolic shift.

It assumed that the found behaviour of the optical density during these experiments results from a phenotypic switch caused by the changing pH level.

This model assumes a phenotypic switch between an acid- and solvent-forming population caused by the changing pH levels. The two phenotypes differ in their transcriptomic, proteomic, and ,thus, their metabolomic profile. Because the growth rates of these phenotypes depends on the extracellular pH, the initiation of the pH-shift results in a significant decline of the acidogenic population. Simultaneously, the solvent-forming population rises and establishes an new steady state.

The model is build ...

The fitted function describes the pH-drop during 'forward'-shift experiments and the increase of the pH during 'reverse'-shift experiments. The estimated parameters are used to compute the changing pH level in the models of the pH.induced metabolic shift in continuous cultures under phosphate limitation of C. acetobutylicum. Furthermore, the parameters can be applied to join different independent experiments into a single data set.

To fit the changing pH level, an exponential function and a ...

An ODE model representing the metabolic network governing acid and solvent production by Clostridium acetobutylicum, incorporating the effect of pH upon gene regulation and subsequent end-product levels.

The zip file containes 4 models (in SBML), each representing slightly different experimental conditions.
