Modeling the intercellular exchange of signaling molecules depending on intra- and inter-cellular environmental parameters

The exchange of biochemical substances is essential in establishing
communication between bacterial cells. It is noticeable that all phases of
the process are heavily influenced by perturbations of either internal or
external parameters. Therefore, instead of developing an accurate
quantitative model of substance exchange between bacterial cells, we are
interested in the formalization of the basic shape of the process, and
creating the appropriate strategy that allows further investigation of
synchronization. Using a form of coupled difference logistic equations we
investigated the synchronization of substance exchange between abstract cells
and its sensitivity to fluctuations of environmental parameters using methods
of nonlinear dynamics.
