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.

Really great to see the article published! Thank you @otticroze.bsky.social and @finnegansquark.bsky.social for your support and guidance throughout.
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)
