Sn. Bagayev et al., SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL SELF-ORGANIZATION OF BACTERIAL POPULATION, International journal of bifurcation and chaos in applied sciences and engineering, 8(5), 1998, pp. 985-990
The peculiarities of self-organization of a bacterial population are a
nalyzed. Comparison of the dynamic characteristics of a bacterial popu
lation received experimentally by biological and optical methods is ma
de. It is shown that the observable dynamic properties of population a
re connected with its spatial self-organization. Such behavior of movi
ng microorganisms is a consequence of the search for optimum condition
s of viability retention.
