Chemotaxis - Killing Model

Our detailed documentation "Spatially Resolved Modeling of Colicin-Induced Killing and Chemotactic Sensing in Escherichia Coli." includes the following information:

  • Introduction into the biological sytem
  • Chemotaxis model
  • Parameter estimation
  • Numerical methods
  • Results
  • Conclusions

You can download the documentation on Spatially Resolved Modeling of Colicin-Induced Killing and Chemotactic Sensing in Escherichia Coli. Further we have made a summary of the complete modeling group for non-mathematicians.
