PHYSICAL MATHEMATICS SEMINAR


TOPIC:		STUDIES OF BACTERIAL COOPERATIVE ORGANIZATION
		USING REACTION-DIFFUSION MODELS


SPEAKER:	IDO GOLDING
		School of Physics and Astronomy
		Tel Aviv University

ABSTRACT:

We formulate a reaction-diffusion model for bacterial branching growth,
and use this model to study possible scenarios during the life of a
colony:  The use of chemotactic signaling, the appearance of chirality,
the emergence of mutations and the stress of antibiotics."
