Silica binding
The silica binding module of our project is based on the expression of a chimeric transmembranal protein, OmpA-L2. This chimeric protein is composed by a OmpA domain (the transmembranal domain) and a L2 domain (the silica binding domain).
For the mathematical representation of the binding to silica particles, we work at the population level and take into account a generalized logistic function to describe the kinetics of this process. We also assume that bacteria are in the stationary phase.
The size of the particles is assumed to be greater than that of the cells.
