The scaling of the growth rate of the Gompertz function comes directly from growth curves of the DM4 bacteria that we obtained in the lab. <u>See more about our work with growth curves here.</u> | The scaling of the growth rate of the Gompertz function comes directly from growth curves of the DM4 bacteria that we obtained in the lab. <u>See more about our work with growth curves here.</u> | ||

- | This model proves the power of computer modelling and shows the importance of using synthetic biology to solve global problems. The exact amount if DCM that could be degraded depends largely on the input conditions such as the number of beads. Obviously, the more beads in the system the better, but then that system can become too large or too difficult to make.< | + | This model proves the power of computer modelling and shows the importance of using synthetic biology to solve global problems.
