Control of density and composition in an engineered two-member bacterial community

The paper demonstrates a synthetic two-member bacterial community that reaches density and composition steady states controlled by inducer inputs, but shows instability after perturbation.

Context Dependence of Biological Circuits

The paper uses Bayesian inference to assess context dependence of parameters in an E. coli growth control circuit across different experimental conditions.

Control of bacterial population density with population feedback and molecular sequestration

The paper designs a synthetic bacterial community with population density control using feedback loops and molecular sequestration, showing absorbance methods overestimate population density when ccdB is used.
