Description:

Summary[edit] Description: English: In-silico mushroom formation. (A) Initial growth and division of motile (green) and immotile (blue) cells after inoculation. The motile cells are repelled from stalks by nutrient depletion in the stalk’s vicinity. Motile cells move mainly in the inter-stalk area. (B) Because of further nutrient reduction at the bottom of the simulation box, immotile stalks stop growing and the motile cells migrate to the top of the stalks. (C) A side view of the biofilm in panel B reveals the cap formation on the stalks. Date: 2016.
