Understanding and predicting how microbes respond to environmental fluctuations is a central challenge in present-day microbiology. Erickson et al. have proposed a quantitative and (kinetic) parameters-free model of Escherichia coli growth that successfully anticipates changes in gene expression and biomass accumulation in response to nutrients up- and down-shifts.
理解和预测微生物如何应对环境波动是当今微生物学的一个核心挑战。Erickson 等人提出了一种定量的且(不含)动力学参数的大肠杆菌生长模型,该模型成功地预测了响应营养物质的升/降变化时基因表达和生物量积累的变化。
