Chemotactic Sensing towards Ambient and Secreted Attractant Drives Collective Behaviour of E. coli

We simulate the dynamics of a suspension of bacterial swimmers, which chemotactically sense gradients in either ambient or self-secreted attractants (e.g. nutrient or aspartate respectively), or in both. Unlike previous mean field models based on a set of continuum partial differential equations, ou...
