  • Localized Structures in a Diffusive Run-and-Tumble Model of Myxococcus xanthus

    Creator:
    Flynn, Patrick Thomas
    Abstract:
    The bacteria Myxococcus xanthus clusters into fruiting bodies in the absence of food. The movement of M. xanthus has three aspects: self-propulsion (run), change of direction due to collision (tumble), and Brownian fluctuations in movement. We propose a minimalist PDE model for the concentrations of left and right moving agents...
