Bistability versus Bimodal Distributions in Gene Regulatory Processes from Population Balance
Figure 6
Population distribution, started with bimodal distribution, merging into a unimodal distribution due to population effect.
Bimodal distribution generated from single cell stochastic model with extracellular pheromone concentration equal to 13.5 nM served as initial distribution of PBM. Simulation was done with plasmid copy number equal to 5 and parameter values listed on Table 2. Population effect of extracellular inhibitor causes two modes to merge into one.
