Integro-diierential Model for Pattern Formation in Bacterial Swarm
This paper introduces a one-dimensional, partial integro-diierential model for bacterial aggregation. Integro-diierential equation is derived from a chemotactic partial diierential system, and stability and numerical analyses are applied to study pattern formation. We demonstrate that an interplay between positive and negative chemotaxis can generate both periodic patterns and aggregation. In t...
متن کاملGAME OF COORDINATION FOR BACTERIAL PATTERN FORMATION: A FINITE AUTOMATA MODELLING
In this paper, we use game theory to describe the emergence of self-organization and consequent pattern formation through communicative cooperation in Bacillus subtilis colonies. The emergence of cooperative regime is modelled as an n-player Assurance game, with the bacterial colonies as individual players. The game is played iteratively through cooperative communication, and mediated by exchan...
متن کاملDynamics of pattern formation in bacterial swarms
To gain a more thorough understanding of the dynamics of swarming bacteria, a nonlabeled cell tracking algorithm was used to study the velocity field of flagellated bacteria, Serratia marcescens, swarming on a soft agar plate. The average velocities for local regions regularly arranged over the entire flow field were investigated. The velocity field of the bacteria typically featured the combin...
متن کاملPhase transition of traveling waves in bacterial colony pattern.
Depending on the growth condition, bacterial colonies can exhibit different morphologies. Many previous studies have used reaction diffusion equations to reproduce spatial patterns. They have revealed that nonlinear reaction term can produce diverse patterns as well as nonlinear diffusion coefficient. Typical reaction term consists of nutrient consumption, bacterial reproduction, and sporulatio...
متن کاملPattern formation in a generalized chemotactic model.
Many models have been proposed for spatial pattern formation in embryology and analyzed for the standard case of zero-flux boundary conditions. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the role of boundary conditions on the form of the final pattern. Here we investigate numerically, the effect of nonstandard boundary conditions on a model pattern generator, which we choose to be of...
