From: A mathematical model of quorum sensing regulated EPS production in biofilm communities

Cell Type

Description

M 0

downregulated QS, low EPS producer

M 1

upregulated QS, high EPS producer

M 2

non-QS, low EPS producer

M 3

non-QS, high EPS producer

  1. Cells are classified as quorum sensing (QS) or non-quorum sensing (non-QS), and low or high EPS producers.
