Plasmid-Instability-Model

We use Cooper's model (Cooper, N.S., M.E. Brown, and C.A. Caulcott, A ) to model plasmid instability, and set a protocol to suggest users which modules can be used to prove their system stability.

Cooper’s model: Under steady state, population distribution of bacteria follows underlying equation:

Growth rate and dilution rate have such relation:

Substitute in

produce

This equation belongs to the Bernoulli form of Differential equation and can be solved as:

Initially, plasmid loss usually is 0. NTU-Taida-Stability-eq7.png So the equation can be simplified as:

NTU-Taida-Stability-eq8.png

1.Growth rate difference >> segregation instability
2.Growth rate difference =< segregation instability
3.Negative growth rate difference >> segregation instability

Knowing the condition of your expression system is important, if growth rate difference is much greater than segregation instability, partition system cannot help stabilize such system. We will show how to discriminate between three conditions and how to use our parts to solve the condition.

1.Growth rate difference >> segregation instabilityNTU-Taida-Stability-eq9.png
The equation can be further simplified.
