Quantitative modeling of Escherichia coli chemotactic motion in environments varying in space and time.

Escherichia coli chemotactic motion in spatiotemporally varying environments is studied by using a computational model based on a coarse-grained description of the intracellular signaling pathway dynamics. We find that the cell's chemotaxis drift velocity v(d) is a constant in an exponential at...
