Scheme of a simplified biochemical network of QS systems near the activation threshold. Schematic representation of the biochemical processes considered in our approach for describing the dynamics of the signaling molecule, A, in cell i. The mRNA dynamics satisfies a dichotomous process characterized by the states M0,1 corresponding to zero and one molecules respectively. Once the autoinducer has been produced, it can diffuse in and out the cell leading to cell communication (see text).
