A mathematical model was developed to simulate the movement of chemotactic bacteria into and within a capillary tube containing a metabolizable chemoattractant. The model was based on a material balance that accounts for the transport of bacteria and chemoattractant as well as consumption of the sub
## Abstract The details of the chemotactic response of Salmonella typhimurium to gradients of Lβserine have been examined in some detail. Two relatively macroscopic techniques have been employed to measure the bacterial response. These include measurements of the average velocity as the bacterial p
The capillary assay for quantitative characterization of bacterial motility and chemotaxis is analyzed in terms of a mathematical model for cell population migration, in order to determine values for the cell random motility coefficient, p, and the cell chemotaxis coefficient, x. The analysis involv
A new method was developed which enables chemotaxis parameters t o be measured at a single-cell level inside a capillary for the first time. The chemotaxis chamber consists oftwo reservoirscommunicating through a capillary tube 50 p m in diameter. Chemotaxis parameters are measured inside the capill
