The investigation of the mechanism of biological pattern has been an important topic of life sciences, especially of developmental biology, for a long time. We have established a cellular automata model of biological pattern formation, which defines how to form a biological pattern from individual cells and their behaviors, cell-cell interactions, and cell-environment interactions. In this paper, we use that model to simulate the growth pattern of the bacterial colonies in consideration of the effects of both nutrient and metabolite on the cell's reproduction.
长期以来，生物模式形成机制的研究一直是生命科学尤其是发育生物学的重要课题。我们建立了一个生物模式形成的细胞自动机模型，该模型定义了如何从单个细胞及其行为、细胞间相互作用和细胞与环境的相互作用形成生物模式。在本文中，我们使用该模型来模拟细菌菌落的生长模式，同时考虑营养物质和代谢产物对细胞繁殖的影响。
