  1. The α, δ, K and η parameters correspond to the αIN, δIN, kIN and ηIN parameters of the 3OC6-HSL inducible device (Eq.1), αOUT, δOUT, kOUT and ηOUT of the TetR/Ptet-based NOT gate and of the A/PA-based YES gate (Eq.2 and Eq.4) and αOUT3, δOUT3, kOUT3 and ηOUT3 of the LacI/Plac-based NOT gate (Eq.3). Their units are described in the Methods section.
