Predator amoeba🦠 C.owczarzaki is both chemotactic and chemokinetic. Our simulations indicate that even just the latter is beneficial to predation. Great work by Sonyia Quick @jasonbains.bsky.social (his second paper!) et al. A serendipitous collaboration with the Gerdt lab. doi.org/10.5967/sh2f...

A new model enables efficient simulation of bacterial responses to changing chemicals in environments like soil and oceans, reducing computational costs and supporting ecosystem research. doi.org/g9529b

Efficient bacterial modeling cuts computational costs for researchers

Newcastle scientists have developed an efficient new model to track bacterial responses to toxic chemicals and nutrients.

First paper by @jasonbains.bsky.social (proud supervisor moment!) & @finnegansquark.bsky.social. We predict the drift velocity of bacterial populations in spatio-temporally varying chemical environments, e.g. the rhizosphere 🌱 doi.org/10.1098/rsta... 🧵(1/3) 🙏 #Bioactive #Fluids theme issue editors
