Abstract:
The nutrient concentration greatly influences the formation of various colony patterns generated by bacterial populations. We consider a 2D cellular automaton growth model of bacterial colony in the case of nutrient limitation. The present cellular automaton simulates the growth process in order to obtain these patterns in the case of random inoculation. We show that numerical patterns are close to those experimentally observed in the literature.
