Chemotaxis - Killing Model
Our detailed documentation "Model for Sensing Network and the Production of Colicins as the Killing Mechanism" includes the following information:
- Introduction into the biological sytem
- Chemotaxis model
- Parameter estimation
- Numerical methods
- Results
- Conclusions
You can download the documentation here and the summary of the modeling project can be downloaded here.
Simulation movies
Below is a list of simulation movies. Specific parameters can be taken from our documentation. 3D movies show the dynamics of all components of the system, while 2D movies show only the distribution of the bacterial strains. The 2D movies are ideally for seeing the killer cells spread over the area, while killing the prey strain.
- movie 1 (3D, 2D)
- 4-PDE system
- killer cells positioned in corner
- prey evenly distributed
- movie 2 (3D, 2D)
- 5-PDE system
- killer cells positioned in corner
- movie 3 (3D, 2D)
- 5-PDE system
- killer cells positioned in corner
- prey evenly distributed
- 1/1000 AI-2 production rate
- movie 4 (3D, 2D)
- 5-PDE system
- killer cells positioned in corner
- prey evenly distributed
- 4-fold chemotactic activity towards AI-2
- movie 5 (3D, 2D)
- 5-PDE system
- killer cells evenly distributed
- prey positioned in center
