Conditional Cooperativity of Toxin - Antitoxin Regulation Can Mediate Bistability between Growth and Dormancy
Figure 4
The state diagram of the bistability.
Colored region represents the combinations of (,
) that makes the system bistable. (A) Reference parameters in table 1 are used except for
and
. The color code represents ratio between
dilution rate calculated upon the low-
steady state and the high-
steady state,
. (B) Bistable region for various values of
, with
. The remaining 6 parameters are fixed to the reference values. The shaded regions represent the areas in the 2D parameters space
that show bistable behavior.
