Model for chemotactic bacterial bands
Suspensions of chemotactic bacteria develop spatial and temporal structures in response to an initial inhomogeneity in the medium. A theoretical model is presented for the analysis of spatial and temporal evolution of bacterial bands in response to several attractants. Applications of the model to various experimental cases give good agreement between theory and observation. The theoretical analysis provides further insight into the mechanisms governing band formation and band migration.
