Transmisión de información en la integración de múltiples señales en E.coli.

"To respond to their environment in a proper way, organisms must have different sensing mechanism that gives them information about their own state and their surroundings. The Chemotaxis system in E coli es a good example, in which the bacteria detects concentration changes of chemoattractants...

Description
Summary:"To respond to their environment in a proper way, organisms must have different sensing mechanism that gives them information about their own state and their surroundings. The Chemotaxis system in E coli es a good example, in which the bacteria detects concentration changes of chemoattractants or chemorepellents when that molecules bind to their receptors in the membrane... In this case, an analysis from Information theory has been performed to study the Chemotaxis system in E.coli., focusing in the signal integration in the bacterial membrane. This work was based on the study made by Metha et al for the same bacteria but in a different mechanism, Quorum Sensing. Although the vast majority of the mathematical procedures were reproduced, when biological characteristics were taking into account, different mathematical expressions were obtained." -- Tomado del Formato de Documento de Grado.
