Team:UCSF/Auxotroph Data

The W3 and Y3 strains (tryptophan ad tyrosine auxotrophs) that we obtained from the Lin Lab at the University of Michigan had already been studied in a paper published earlier this year. A Programmable Escherichia coli Consortium via Tunable Symbiosis . They showed some experimental analysis which were the first steps at showing that these strains could be induced at varying levels to get a range of ratios between the two strains.
We were able to create our own version of the model presented in the Kerner 2012 paper and obtain a model based on data that we collected.

A 3D surface of that graph was obtained and a slice of the graph is shown here:
