Quorum-Sensing Synchronization of Synthetic Toggle Switches: A Design Based on Monotone Dynamical Systems Theory
Fig 8
An interpretation of symmetry breaking in a (1:1)-mixed population of S toggles.
A new (1:1)-asymmetric mixed state arises, in which there are two subpopulations, one in which green gene-expression dominates (but with different expression levels of LacI in each of them), and another one which red gene-expression dominates (also with different TetR levels).
