Description:

The three interdependent ecoli auxotrophs studied in our project are: Met-, Trp-, and Tyr- knock outs. This model is designed to be able to predict the consortium’s population dynamic, based on the measured amino acid excretion rates without tuning them. However, the code of the model is written in a way that when we decide to tune the population by adding in the different concentration of the inducers, we can simply update the excretion and consumption rate equations. Thus this model is valid for both situations. It can even be generalized to be used by any interdependent ecoli consortium when Met, Trp, and Tyr are the limiting nutrients/substrates for their growth, with some modifications.


Constants:

Some of the key constants for the Monod Kinetics are obtained through analyzing various growth rates under different known amino acid concentrations. The values are listed as follows:
