Subtilin Production by Bacillus Subtilis: Stochastic Hybrid Models and Parameter Identification
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents methods for the parameter identification of a model of subtilin production by Bacillus subtilis. Based on a stochastic hybrid model, identification is split in two subproblems: estimation of the genetic network regulating subtilin production from gene expression data, and estimation of population dynamics based on nutrient and population level data. Techniques for identification of switching dynamics from sparse and irregularly sampled observations are developed and applied to simulated data. Numerical results are provided to show the effectiveness of our methods.

Modeling Subtilin Production in Bacillus subtilis Using Stochastic Hybrid Systems
The genetic network regulating the biosynthesis of subtilin in Bacillus subtilis is modeled as a stochastic hybrid system. The continuous state of the hybrid system is the concentrations of subtilin and various regulating proteins, whose productions are controlled by switches in the genetic network that are in turn modeled as Markov chains. Some preliminary results are given by both analysis an...
متن کاملProbabilistic safety and optimal control for survival analysis of Bacillus subtilis
This work investigates the problem of determining switching conditions for the production of the lantibiotic subtilin by Bacillus subtilis. These conditions are synthesized as the outcome of an optimal control problem based on a survival analysis interpretation. The problem is built upon the general modeling framework of stochastic hybrid systems, by translating the survival analysis into a pro...

متن کاملThe presence of sboA and spaS genes and antimicrobial peptides subtilosin A and subtilin among Bacillus strains of the Amazon basin
This report demonstrates the usefulness of PCR for the genes spaS and sboA as a means of identifying Bacillus strains with a potential to produce subtilin and subtilosin A. One collection strain and five Bacillus spp. isolated from aquatic environments in the Amazon basin were screened by PCR using primers for sboA and spaS designed specifically for this study. The sequences of the PCR products...
متن کاملEntianin, a novel subtilin-like lantibiotic from Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii DSM 15029T with high antimicrobial activity.
Lantibiotics, such as nisin and subtilin, are lanthionine-containing peptides that exhibit antimicrobial as well as pheromone-like autoinducing activity. Autoinduction is specific for each lantibiotic, and reporter systems for nisin and subtilin autoinduction are available. In this report, we used the previously reported subtilin autoinduction bioassay in combination with mass spectrometric ana...
