Fixed nitrogen dynamics and heterocyst patterning in filamentous heterocystous cyanobacteria
(2012-08-22)Cyanobacteria are prokaryotes that can grow photoautotrophically using oxygenic photosynthesis. Some filamentous cyanobacteria in media with insufficient fixed nitrogen develop a regular pattern of heterocyst cells that ... -
Pattern Formation in Bacterial Colonies with Density-Dependent Diffusion
(2017-04-07)Recent experiments have shown that patterns can emerge in bacterial colonies programmed to have a drop in diffusion when population densities (detected via a quorum sensing mechanism) are sufficiently large. We examine one ... -
SPIKE DYNAMICS IN 2-COMPONENT AND 3-COMPONENT REACTION DIFFUSION SYSTEMS
(2021-08-20)In this thesis, we study spike dynamics and stability in different reaction-diffusion systems. Since localized patterns are "far-from-equilibrium" structures, the classical Turing-type stability analysis is not applicable. ...
