Self-Driven Jamming in Growing Microbial Populations
In natural settings, microbes tend to grow in dense populations [1-4] where they need to push against their surroundings to accommodate space for new cells. The associated contact forces play a critical role in a variety of population-level processes, including biofilm formation [5-7], the colonization of porous media [8, 9], and the invasion of biological tissues [10-12]. Although mechanical f...
متن کاملToward a self-similar theory of microbial populations.
A fresh quest is made of segregated cell models of microbial populations with a view to determine whether the multivarite distribution of physiological states, during transient growth, can attain self-similar forms (i.e., become time invariant) when each physiological state variable is scaled with respect to its population average. Such self-similar growth situations are believed to be more gen...
متن کاملSEIRS epidemics in growing populations
An SEIRS epidemic with disease fatalities is introduced in a growing population (modelled as a super-critical linear birth and death process). The study of the initial phase of the epidemic is stochastic, while the analysis of the major outbreaks is deterministic. Depending on the values of the parameters, the following scenarios are possible. i) The disease dies out quickly, only infecting few...
متن کاملStochastic Epidemics in Growing Populations
Consider a uniformly mixing population which grows as a super-critical linear birth and death process. At some time an infectious disease (of SIR or SEIR type) is introduced by one individual being infected from outside. It is shown that three different scenarios may occur: (i) an epidemic never takes off, (ii) an epidemic gets going and grows but at a slower rate than the community thus still ...
متن کاملInfluence of Cereal Non-Starch Polysaccharides on Ileo-Caecal and Rectal Microbial Populations in Growing Pigs
The effect of cereal non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) on the gut microbial populations was studied in 5 growing pigs between 39-116 kg body weight according to a Latin square design. The diets were composed to contain different NSP levels. The control diet had a normal NSP content (139 g/kg dry matter (DM)), 2 diets had a low total amount of NSP (95 and 107 g/kg DM) and 2 diets had a high amoun...
