Remarks on a population-level model of chemotaxis: advection-diffusion approximation and simulations

Quantitative Methods 2013-02-12 v1

Abstract

This note works out an advection-diffusion approximation to the density of a population of E. coli bacteria undergoing chemotaxis in a one-dimensional space. Simulations show the high quality of predictions under a shallow-gradient regime.
