| Abstract: | A computer program was designed to simulate the distribution of paramecia in a T-maze assay for chemo-accumulation and dispersal. Simulated values of chemokinesis are compared to experimental values for normal and mutant paramecia. The roles of components of swimming behavior (turning frequency and swimming speed), adaptation, and reaction at the border of solutions are examined. |
