| |
| - | === Bacteria ===
| |
| - |
| |
| - | * Heavy basis on literature
| |
| - | * Run and tumble by default (flagellar motor)
| |
| - | * chemotaxis!
| |
| - | * brownian motion and fluid forces implemented
| |
| - | * easily adaptable.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | === Interactions and actions ===
| |
| - | * easily specified and adaptable
| |
| - | * can do whatever you want:
| |
| - | ** Collision
| |
| - | ** Merging (vesicle/bacterium)
| |
| - | ** GRNs
| |
| - | * other interactions:
| |
| - | ** Everything can interact! chemical fields, GRNs, vesicles...
| |
| - |
| |
| - | === Vesicles ===
| |
| - |
| |
| - | * Small, but size based on growth
| |
| - | * Size and creation rate based on rate of change of surface area [ref - steve?]
| |
| - | * Vesicle movement - brownian motion in a viscous fluid environment
| |
| - | * Interaction can be specified
| |
| - |
| |
| - | === Chemical Fields ===
| |
| - |
| |
| - | * diffusion
| |
| - | * decay
| |
| - | * physical units
| |

| |
| - | === GRN modelling ===
| |
| - |
| |
| - | BSim 2008: "Each of the modelling approaches [''GRNs and agent-based modelling''] have been considered in separate contexts, mainly due to the differing aspects of the system they are concerned with. Now, having working models for each, it would be possible to bring these together with the aim of improving simulation accuracy and allowing for the internal cellular dynamics to be studied in an ever changing physical environment. Such a hybrid model may also help shed light on the critical aspects of project as a whole."

| - |
| |
| - | * ODE(s) can be attached to bacteria
| |
| - | * Can interact with chemical fields etc
| |
| - |
| |
| - | === Magnetotaxis ===
| |
| - |
| |
| - | * an alternative to chemotaxis?
| |
| - | ** Allow tuning of the field strength and direction
| |
| - | ** Include both naturally magnetic bacteria and/or magnetic beads
| |
| - | ** Include both uniform magnetic field and/or also variable magnetic field (to affect motion as well as orientation)
