Sustainable Diversity of Phage-Bacteria Systems
Namiko Mitarai, Anastasios Marantos, Kim Sneppen
Bacteriophages are central to microbial ecosystems for balancing bacterial populations and promoting evolution by applying strong selection pressure. Here we review some of the kno…
A scaling law of multilevel evolution: how the balance between within- and among-collective evolution is determined
Nobuto Takeuchi, Namiko Mitarai, Kunihiko Kaneko
Numerous living systems are hierarchically organised, whereby replicating components are grouped into reproducing collectives -- e.g., organelles are grouped into cells, and cells…
When to wake up? The optimal waking-up strategies for starvation-induced persistence
Yusuke Himeoka, Namiko Mitarai
Prolonged lag time can be induced by starvation contributing to the antibiotic tolerance of bacteria. We analyze the optimal lag time to survive and grow the iterative and stochast…
Dynamics of bacterial populations under the feast-famine cycles
Yusuke Himeoka, Namiko Mitarai
Bacterial populations in natural conditions are expected to experience stochastic environmental fluctuations, and in addition, environments are affected by bacterial activities sin…
Finite response time in stripe formation by bacteria with density-suppressed motility
Xingyu Zhang, Namiko Mitarai
Genetically engineered bacteria to increase the tumbling frequency of the run-and-tumble motion for the higher local bacterial density form visible stripe pattern composed of succe…
Characterization of phase transitions in a model ecosystem of sessile species
Florian Uekermann, Joachim Mathiesen, Namiko Mitarai
We consider a model ecosystem of sessile species competing for space. In particular, we consider the system introduced in [Mathiesen et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 188101 (2011)] whe…
