Reflection on a Quantitative Look at Nitrogen Metabolism

1. What was the purpose of this assignment?
2. What aspect of this assignment came most easily to you?
3. What aspect of this assignment was the most challenging for you?
4. What (yet) do you not understand?

Read and Reflect

• Compare the current ter Schure et al paper (Microbiology, 1995, 141, pp1101-1108) with the previously discussed J. Bacteriology (1995) 177, no. 22, pp6672-6675, paper.
  1. In what ways are the goals of the papers different?
  2. What things in the Microbiology paper help clarify methods in the Bacteriology paper?
  3. Do you feel anything is lacking for the purposes of developing a math model and simulating nitrogen metabolism? If so, what?
