Figure 8. The time-dependent switching rate of V. alginolyticus.

Figure 8

The measured switching rates for Inline graphic1, 5 and 10 Inline graphic of serine are plotted as dots in (A to C), respectively. The stimulation occurs at Inline graphic. In all the cases, an initial suppression in Inline graphic was followed by an overshoot beyond the steady-state switching rate Inline graphic. It is only in long times that Inline graphic is recovered. The red curves in each plot are the fits using Eq. 15. The fitting procedure yields the following parameters: Inline graphic, Inline graphic, and Inline graphic for (A); Inline graphic, Inline graphic, and Inline graphic for (B); and Inline graphic, Inline graphic, and Inline graphic for (C). Here, we treated Inline graphic as an adjustable parameter; as can be seen, its value does not change much from run to run.
