Abstract

A mathematical model is used to study the surface growth of Escherichia coli cells on a membrane filter placed on a nutrient agar plate under various conditions. Several characteristics of the surface growth of bacterial cells under various growth conditions are discovered and the applicability of this model is examined to describe the growth curves.
