Optimal Noise Filtering in the Chemotactic Response of Escherichia coli
Information-carrying signals in the real world are often obscured by noise. A challenge for any system is to filter the signal from the corrupting noise. This task is particularly acute for the signal transduction network that mediates bacterial chemotaxis, because the signals are subtle, the noise arising from stochastic fluctuations is substantial, and the system is effectively acting as a di...
متن کاملSteady-State Chemotactic Response in E. coli
The bacterium E. coli maneuvers itself to regions with high chemoattractant concentrations by performing two stereotypical moves: ‘runs’, in which it moves in near straight lines, and ‘tumbles’, in which it does not advance but changes direction randomly. The duration of each move is stochastic and depends upon the chemoattractant concentration experienced in the recent past. We relate this sto...
متن کاملSignaling noise enhances chemotactic drift of E. coli.
Noise in the transduction of chemotactic stimuli to the flagellar motor of E. coli will affect the random run-and-tumble motion of the cell and the ability to perform chemotaxis. Here we use numerical simulations to show that an intermediate level of noise in the slow methylation dynamics enhances drift while not compromising localization near concentration peaks. A minimal model shows how such...
متن کاملOptimal methylation noise for best chemotactic performance of {\sl E. coli}
In response to a concentration gradient of nutrient, E. coli bacterium modulates the rotational bias of flagellar motors which control its run-and-tumble motion, to migrate towards regions of high nutrient concentration. Presence of stochastic noise in the biochemical pathway of the cell has important consequence on the switching mechanism of motor bias, which in turn affects the runs and tumbl...
متن کاملAdaptation and Optimal Chemotactic Strategy for E. Coli
Extending the classic works of Berg and Purcell on the biophysics of bacterial chemotaxis, we find the optimal chemotactic strategy for the peritrichous bacterium E. coli in the high and low signal to noise ratio limits. The optimal strategy depends on properties of the environment and properties of the individual bacterium, and is therefore highly adaptive. We review experiments relevant to te...
