Phenotypic plasticity stimulated by cooperation fosters pattern diversity of bacterial colonies.

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics - 1 Jul 2012

Juanico Dranreb Earl

Abstract excerpt

Colonies of flagellated bacteria on agar plates are known to take on diverse morphologies. A diffusion-reaction model is proposed for bacterial-colony pattern formation on a surface due to time scale separation between the slow mass migration of bacteria from the point of inoculation, and the fast, but localized, dynamics of bacterial phenotypic plasticity stimulated by public-goods cooperation and phenotypic...
