通过催化反应网络中的资源竞争向多样化过渡
Transition to diversification by competition for resources in catalytic reaction networks
摘要:
所有生命,包括细胞和人造原始细胞,都必须将不同的分子整合成一个单元才能繁殖。尽管预期的压力,以发展一个简单的系统与最快的复制速度,机制,其中使用的各种组件,并实现了不同的细胞类型与不同的组成的共存是未知的。在这里,我们表明,这种不同的组合物和细胞类型的共存是各种有限的资源竞争的结果。我们发现,过渡到多样性发生在化学成分和原始细胞类型,作为资源供应减少,当最大的流入和消耗的资源是平衡的。
英文摘要:
All life, including cells and artificial protocells, must integrate diverse molecules into a single unit in order to reproduce. Despite expected pressure to evolve a simple system with the fastest replication speed, the mechanism by which the use of the great variety of components, and the coexistence of diverse cell-types with different compositions are achieved is as yet unknown. Here we show that coexistence of such diverse compositions and cell-types is the result of competitions for a variety of limited resources. We find that a transition to diversity occurs both in chemical compositions and in protocell types, as the resource supply is decreased, when the maximum inflow and consumption of resources are balanced.
