Starting the encapsulation process is related to diauxic growth of bacteria under two carbon sources. This is explained further here. 2 models have been discussed in this section and more information about each can be found in the tabs.

Contents

Goal of the models

  • Provide understanding of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diauxie diauxic growth] phenomenon
  • Find out the time taken to consume glucose in the medium to characterize the CRP promoter.

Model 1

Model 2
