CONTINUOUS AND DISCRETE MODELS OF COOPERATION IN COMPLEX BACTERIAL COLONIES
CONTINUOUS AND DISCRETE MODELS OF COOPERATION IN COMPLEX BACTERIAL COLONIES
In this paper, we study the effect of discreteness on various models for patterning in bacterial colonies (finite-size effect) and present two types of models to describe the growth of the bacterial colonies. The first model presented is the Communicating Walkers model (CWm), a hybrid model composed of both continuous …
