\frac{d[CI]}{dt}={RBS}\times{[mRNACI]} -KdegCI\times[CI]

In this equation, RBS represents ribosome binding site strength, which is the affinity of ribosome to the starting site of mRNA.

For the section of the equation, RBS\times [mRNAcI] represents the synthesizing rate of CI; -{kdegCI}\times {[CI]} represents the degrading rate of CI.

Since LuxCI hybrid promoter is CI dominant, the presence of CI block the promoter and kill protein is not produced. This situation happens when there is no Nosema in bees.
