Modeling Physiological Processes That Relate Toxicant Exposure and Bacterial Population Dynamics
Quantifying effects of toxicant exposure on metabolic processes is crucial to predicting microbial growth patterns in different environments. Mechanistic models, such as those based on Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory, can link physiological processes to microbial growth.Here we expand the DEB framework to include explicit consideration of the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Extensions...
متن کاملModeling Population and Ecosystem Response to Sublethal Toxicant Exposure
The ecological effects of environmental stress occur within complex communities and ecosystems. Prior to the current award, the PIs formulated and tested general dynamic energy budget models characterizing the response of individual organisms to toxicants, and developed methodology for using these models to predict population dynamics. They also developed new theory describing the trophic dynam...
متن کاملModeling bacterial population growth from stochastic single-cell dynamics.
A few bacterial cells may be sufficient to produce a food-borne illness outbreak, provided that they are capable of adapting and proliferating on a food matrix. This is why any quantitative health risk assessment policy must incorporate methods to accurately predict the growth of bacterial populations from a small number of pathogens. In this aim, mathematical models have become a powerful tool...
متن کاملPhysiological correlates of neurobehavioral disinhibition that relate to drug use and risky sexual behavior in adolescents with prenatal substance exposure.
Physiological correlates of behavioral and emotional problems, substance use onset and initiation of risky sexual behavior have not been studied in adolescents with prenatal drug exposure. We studied the concordance between baseline respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) at age 3 and baseline cortisol levels at age 11. We hypothesized that children who showed concordance between RSA and cortisol wo...
متن کاملOptimization and Modeling of Bacterial Processes
Bifidobacterium longum and Streptomyces peucetius are two totally different bacterial species with respect to environmental conditions and process objective. These were used as model organisms in this study. The objective of the B. longum process was to produce viable biomass suitable for use as food additive. The objective of the S. peucetius process was to produce a medically significant comp...
