In-vivo identification and control of aerotaxis in Bacillus subtilis. Menolascina, F., Stocker, R., & Sontag, E. In Proc. IEEE Conf. Decision and Control, Dec. 2016, pages 764-769, 2016.
abstract   bibtex   
Combining in-vivo experiments with system identification methods, we determine a simple model of aerotaxis in B. subtilis, and we subsequently employ this model in order to compute the sequence of oxygen gradients needed in order to achieve set-point regulation with respect to a signal tracking the center of mass of the bacterial population. We then successfully validate both the model and the control scheme, by showing that in-vivo positioning control can be achieved via the application of the precomputed inputs in-vivo in an open-loop configuration.
