A differential equation describing the chemotactic migration of a bacterial population in a fixed exponential gradient of attractant has been integrated using the appropriate boundary conditions. The solution predicts an initial bacterial accumulation at the concentration "knee" with the final distribution of bacteria approaching a time-independent state. Specific additional experiments to obtain further data for a rigorous test of the theory are suggested.
一个描述细菌群体在固定的引诱剂指数梯度中趋化迁移的微分方程,已使用适当的边界条件进行了积分。该解预测细菌最初会在浓度“拐点”处积累,最终细菌分布会趋近于一个与时间无关的状态。文中还建议了一些具体的额外实验,以获取进一步的数据来严格检验该理论。
