Two Populations

OverviewAn oscillator is a system that repeatedly goes back and forth about a specific value to achieve an equilibrium. Many think of an oscillator as being a physical system such as a pendulum or a clock, but oscillators are also repeatedly found in biological systems. Biological oscillators are characterized by a positive and negative feedback loop. For our oscillator, we created three different strains. These strains used three different quorum sensing molecules AHL, AI1, and AI2 coupled with yellow, red, and blue fluorescence proteins to create an oscillating effect. |
