Theoretical results for chemotactic response and drift of E. coli in a weak attractant gradient
Melissa Reneaux, Manoj Gopalakrishnan
The bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli) moves in its natural environment in a series of straight runs, interrupted by tumbles which cause change of direction. It performs chemotax…

From random to directed motion: Understanding chemotaxis in E. Coli within a simplified model
Melissa Reneaux, Manoj Gopalakrishnan
The bacterium E.Coli swims in a zig-zag manner, in a series of straight runs and tumbles occurring alternately, with the run-durations dependent on the local spatial gradient of ch…
