Analysis of Bacteria Colony Patterns by Stochastic RD Equations

Abstract

Many spatio-temporal patterns such as target and spiral patterns in BZ reaction are observed in the various fields of engineering, including fluid and chemical engineering. The analysis of such patterns is one of important problems of engineering. In this paper, focusing our attention on the bacteria colony patterns, the stochastic modeling of behaviors of the bacteria called Bacillus subtilis and analysis of the created patterns are studied through numerical simulations.
