Dependence of Bacterial Chemotaxis on Gradient Shape and Adaptation Rate
Simulation of cellular behavior on multiple scales requires models that are sufficiently detailed to capture central intracellular processes but at the same time enable the simulation of entire cell populations in a computationally cheap way. In this paper we present RapidCell, a hybrid model of chemotactic Escherichia coli that combines the Monod-Wyman-Changeux signal processing by mixed chemo...
متن کاملBacterial chemotaxis without gradient-sensing.
Chemotaxis models are based on spatial or temporal gradient measurements by individual organisms. The key contribution of Keller and Segel (J Theor Biol 30:225-234, 1971a; J Theor Biol 30:235-248, 1971b) is showing that erratic measurements of individuals may result in an accurate chemotaxis phenomenon as a group. In this paper we provide another option to understand chemotactic behavior when i...
متن کاملAdaptation kinetics in bacterial chemotaxis.
Cells of Escherichia coli, tethered to glass by a single flagellum, were subjected to constant flow of a medium containing the attractant alpha-methyl-DL-aspartate. The concentration of this chemical was varied with a programmable mixing apparatus over a range spanning the dissociation constant of the chemoreceptor at rates comparable to those experienced by cells swimming in spatial gradients....

Universal response-adaptation relation in bacterial chemotaxis.
The bacterial strategy of chemotaxis relies on temporal comparisons of chemical concentrations, where the probability of maintaining the current direction of swimming is modulated by changes in stimulation experienced during the recent past. A short-term memory required for such comparisons is provided by the adaptation system, which operates through the activity-dependent methylation of chemot...
