Modelling the chemotactic response of escherichia coli to signalling molecule AI-2 by Tan, Pei Yen

“…The predicted chemotactic response from our model is first compared with experimental reports of maltose chemotactic response as the maltose response is well-studied and there exists a wealth of data in the past literature. Our model achieves good agreement with experimental data for maltose at various levels of periplasmic binding protein concentration as well as extracellular attractant concentration. …”
