We conceived a model in order to handle questions concerning the following situation: A bacterial growth is carried out in a bioreactor, continually supplied in substrate. Bacteria can possess 2 type of plasmids:
So during the growth each bacterium can have no plasmids, either one type of plasmids, or both types.
The aim of the model is to assess the evolution of plasmids throughout the culture, to determine which parameters can matter in the loss of those plasmids, and to precise what are the probabilities for a bacteria to loose its plasmids during cell division. As a plasmids can be a disadvantage for growth (energy spent into replicating processes) or a advantage (protection against a toxin) this question is hard to answer. But in this situation, where one type of plasmid can influence on the presence of the other type of plasmid in (and reciprocally) in the same bacteria, the question become too tough to answer and only a mathematical model can resolve such a interrogation!

In order to help the iGEM team Bordeaux, we had to read the paper « Dynamics of plasmid transfer on surfaces » and collect and organize some data about their experiments on plasmids transfer. Thanks to this, the iGEM team Bordeaux can compare those results to their own computaionnal results.

Sharing and collaboration are core values of iGEM. We encourage you to reach out and work with other teams on difficult problems that you can more easily solve together.
You can work with any other team in the competition, including software, hardware, high school and other tracks. You can also work with non-iGEM research groups, but they do not count towards the iGEM team collaboration silver medal criterion.
In order to meet the silver medal criteria on helping another team, you must complete this page and detail the nature of your collaboration with another iGEM team.
Here are some suggestions for projects you could work on with other teams:
