Theoretical model of the population-level QS response. (a) Schematic diagram of the functional components used in the model. (b) The results of the numerical model (blue line: 10 nM signal molecule concentration, and red line: 1 µM signal molecule concentration) along with the measured average fluorescence intensities (grey dots: 10 nM, black dots: 1 µM). (c) Calculated concentrations of molecular species (r1, r2, r3, r4, n) included in the model (solid lines), and the concentrations of gfp genes with bound LasR-signal complex (sa, dashed line) for both signal molecule concentrations.
