New sector morphologies emerge from anisotropic colony growth
Daniel W. Swartz, Hyunseok Lee, Mehran Kardar +1
Competition during range expansions is of great interest from both practical and theoretical view points. Experimentally, range expansions are often studied in homogeneous Petri di…
Competition on the edge of an expanding population
Daniel W. Swartz, Hyunseok Lee, Mehran Kardar +1
In growing populations, the fate of mutations depends on their competitive ability against the ancestor and their ability to colonize new territory. Here we present a theory that i…
Ecological landscapes guide the assembly of optimal microbial communities
Ashish B. George, Kirill S. Korolev
Assembling optimal microbial communities is key for various applications in biofuel production, agriculture, and human health. Finding the optimal community is challenging because…
Slow expanders invade by forming dented fronts in microbial colonies
Hyunseok Lee, Jeff Gore, Kirill S. Korolev
Most organisms grow in space, whether they are viruses spreading within a host tissue or invasive species colonizing a new continent. Evolution typically selects for higher expansi…
Computation Of Microbial Ecosystems in Time and Space (COMETS): An open source collaborative platform for modeling ecosystems metabolism
Ilija Dukovski, Djordje Bajić, Jeremy M Chacón +10
Genome-scale stoichiometric modeling of metabolism has become a standard systems biology tool for modeling cellular physiology and growth. Extensions of this approach are also emer…
Traveling fronts in self-replicating persistent random walks with multiple internal states
Keisuke Ishihara, Ashish B. George, Ryan Cornelius +1
Self-activation coupled to a transport mechanism results in traveling waves that describe polymerization reactions, forest fires, tumor growth, and even the spread of epidemics. Di…
