An Environment-Sensitive Synthetic Microbial Ecosystem
Figure 5
Microbial ecosystem structure difference with and without the addition of antibiotics.
(A) Simulated dynamics of ER and EG cells growing with and without the pressure of antibiotics. The growth curve of ER and EG overlapped in the top graft. (B) Experimental system dynamics. The antibiotics concentration was 4 mg/ml ampicillin, 1 mg/ml kanamycin. Initial cell densities were 1×106 cells/ml for ER and 1×107 cells/ml for EG.
