测试细菌细胞运动的基于代理的模型:营养浓度如何影响速度分布

Testing an agent-based model of bacterial cell motility: How nutrient concentration affects speed distribution

Victor Garcia, Mirko Birbaumer, Frank Schweitzer

摘要:

我们重新审视最近提出的基于代理的模型的主动生物运动和比较其预测与自己的实验结果的速度分布的细菌细胞,\emph{Salmonella typhimurium}。智能体根据随机动力学移动,并使用存储在内部仓库中的能量进行新陈代谢和主动运动。我们讨论了不同的假设如何转换从内部到动能$d(v)$可能取决于实际速度,得出结论,无论是$ξ=2$或$1<ξ<2$的$d_{2}v^ξ$是有前途的假设。为了检验这些,我们将模型的预测与在不同营养浓度和不同时间的培养基中获得的细菌的速度分布进行比较。我们发现,这两个假设是符合实验观察,与$ξ$之间的1.67和2.0。关于更高营养浓度的影响,我们得出结论,细菌细胞对能量的吸收确实增加了。但是这种能量并不用于增加速度,40 $μ$ m/s是速度分布的最可能值,而是用于新陈代谢和生长。

英文摘要:

We revisit a recently proposed agent-based model of active biological motion and compare its predictions with own experimental findings for the speed distribution of bacterial cells, \emph{Salmonella typhimurium}. Agents move according to a stochastic dynamics and use energy stored in an internal depot for metabolism and active motion. We discuss different assumptions of how the conversion from internal to kinetic energy $d(v)$ may depend on the actual speed, to conclude that $d_{2}v^ξ$ with either $ξ=2$ or $1<ξ<2$ are promising hypotheses. To test these, we compare the model's prediction with the speed distribution of bacteria which were obtained in media of different nutrient concentration and at different times. We find that both hypotheses are in line with the experimental observations, with $ξ$ between 1.67 and 2.0. Regarding the influence of a higher nutrient concentration, we conclude that the take-up of energy by bacterial cells is indeed increased. But this energy is not used to increase the speed, with 40$μ$m/s as the most probable value of the speed distribution, but is rather spend on metabolism and growth.
