Microbes have adapted to greatly variable environments in order survive both short-term perturbations and permanent changes. A classical yet still actively studied example of adaptation dynamic is the diauxic shift Escherichia coli, which cells grow on glucose until its exhaustion then transition using previously secreted acetate. Here we tested different hypotheses concerning nature this by metabolic modeling. To reach goal, developed an open source modeling framework integrating models...
Summary To obtain insights into the dynamics of nutrient exchange in arbuscular mycorrhizal ( AM ) symbiosis, we modelled mathematically two‐membrane system at plant–fungus interface and simulated its dynamics. In computational cell biology experiments, full range transport pathways was tested for their ability to phosphorus (P)/carbon (C)/nitrogen (N) sources. As a result, obtained thermodynamically justified, independent comprehensive model contact zone. The predicted optimal transporter...
The pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a model organism able to synthesize industrially-relevant molecules. Commercial-scale cultivation currently requires large monocultures, prone bio-contamination. However, little known about the identity of invading organisms. To reduce complexity natural systems, we systematically investigated microbiome non-axenic P. cultures from culture collection in reproducible experiments. results revealed dynamic bacterial community that developed...
Abstract Microbes have adapted to greatly variable environments in order survive both short-term perturbations and permanent changes. A classical, yet still actively studied example of adaptation dynamic is the diauxic shift Escherichia coli , which cells grow on glucose until its exhaustion, then transition using previously secreted acetate. Here we tested different hypotheses concerning nature this by metabolic modeling. Towards goal, developed an open source modeling framework integrating...
Nitrogen metabolism in the rhizosphere microbiome plays an important role mediating plant nutrition, particularly under low inputs of mineral fertilizers. However, there is relatively little mechanistic information about which genes and metabolic pathways are induced by bacterial strains to utilize diverse nitrogen substrates. Here we investigate substrate utilization three taxonomically previously isolated from Arabidopsis roots. The represent taxa that consistently detected as core members...
Global warming exposes plants to severe heat stress, with consequent crop yield reduction. Organisms exposed high temperature stresses typically protect themselves a shock response (HSR), where accumulation of unfolded proteins initiates the synthesis through transcription factor HSF1. While molecular mechanisms are qualitatively well characterized, our quantitative understanding underlying dynamics is still very limited. Here, we study HSR in photosynthetic model organism Chlamydomonas...
The Q-cycle mechanism entering the electron and proton transport chain in oxygenic photosynthesis is an example of how biological processes can be efficiently investigated with elementary microscopic models. Here we address problem energy across cellular membrane from open quantum system theoretical perspective. We model cytochrome [Formula: see text] protein complex under cyclic flow conditions starting a simplified kinetic model, which hereby revisited terms Markovian master equation...
Abstract The pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a model organism able to synthesise industrially-relevant molecules. Large-scale monocultures are prone bio-contamination, however, little known about the identity of invading organisms. To gain insight into bacterial community associated with diatoms, we translated complexity natural system reproducible experiments where investigated microbiome P. cultures. results revealed dynamic that changed over time and in differing media...
The Tile Calorimeter (TileCal), the central section of hadronic calorimeter ATLAS experiment, is a key detector component to detect hadrons, jets and taus measure missing transverse energy. Due very good muon signal noise ratio it assists spectrometer in identification reconstruction muons. TileCal built steel scintillating tiles coupled optical fibers read out by photomultipliers. equipped with systems that allow monitor calibrate each stage readout system exploiting different sources:...

Abstract Global warming is exposing plants to more frequent heat stress, with consequent crop yield reduction. Organisms exposed large temperature increases protect themselves typically a shock response (HSR). To study the HSR in photosynthetic organisms we present here data driven mathematical model describing dynamics of organism Chlamydomonas reinhartii . Temperature variations are sensed by accumulation unfolded proteins, which activates synthesis proteins (HSP) mediated transcription...
The high energy frontier opened by the LHC is allowing us to explore physics scenarios where new might lay. need go beyond Standard Model (SM) comes from various unanswered questions such as does matter-antimatter asymmetry from? What nature of Dark Matter? How can hierarchy problem be solved? recent discovery an Higgs-like boson tends disfavour existence a heavy 4th generation quarks which would change Higgs SM cross section and branching ratio in way that not experimentally observed. At...

During 2011 the ATLAS experiment at CERN collected around 5 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data from LHC center-of-mass energy = 7 TeV. At such high frontier it is possible to explore new physics scenarios. Amongst models beyond Standard Model (SM) some predict existence exotic heavy quarks, which would help explain matter-antimatter asymmetry and solve hierarchy problem. Several analyses were performed search for a chiral 4th generation quarks with charges +2/3 −1/3 (t' b' respectively)...
