Abstract: | An estimate of the distance between spots generated by a bacterial colony model is obtained. The model describes the morphogenesis of a spot pattern in colonies of chemotactic strains of Escherichia coli. Asymptotic methods for other cell-chemotaxis models, which have been successfully used by previous researchers, can be applied also to this model. However the calculations and the result is more complicated for this model. The result is verified by comparing it with the results by numerical computations of solutions of the model. |
