Abstract As synthetic biocircuits become more complex, distributing computations within multi-strain microbial consortia becomes increasingly beneficial. However, designing distributed circuits that respond predictably to variation in consortium composition remains a challenge. Here we develop two-strain gene circuit senses and responds which strain is the majority. This involves co-repressive system each produces signaling molecule signals other down-regulate production of its own,...
Background Synthetic microbial consortia are conglomerations of genetically engineered microbes programmed to cooperatively bring about population‐level phenotypes. By coordinating their activity, the constituent strains can display emergent behaviors that difficult engineer into isogenic populations. To do so, communicate with one another through intercellular signaling pathways depend on cell density. Methods Here, we used computational modeling examine how behavior synthetic results from...
One challenge in synthetic biology is the tuning of regulatory components within gene circuits to elicit a specific behavior. This becomes more difficult microbial consortia since each strain's circuit must function at intracellular level and their combination operate population level. Here we demonstrate that dynamics can be tuned through manipulation strain fractions community. To do this, construct consortium comprised three strains engineered Escherichia coli that, when cocultured, use...
The dynamics of systems with stochastically varying time delays are investigated in this paper. It is shown that the mean can be used to derive necessary conditions for stability equilibria stochastic system. Moreover, second moment sufficient almost sure equilibria. results summarized using charts obtained via semidiscretization. theoretical methods applied simple gene regulatory networks where it demonstrated stochasticity delay improve steady protein production.

Abstract A major challenge in synthetic biology is the manipulation of engineered gene circuits toward a specified behavior. This becomes more difficult as systems become complex by incorporating additional genes or strains. Here we demonstrate that circuit dynamics can be tuned consortia through strain fractions within community. To do this, constructed microbial consortium comprised three strains Escherichia coli that, when co-cultured, use homoserine lactone (HSL) mediated intercellular...
