A connection between bacterial chemotactic network and optimal filtering
The chemotactic network of Escherichia coli has been studied extensively both biophysically and information-theoretically. Nevertheless, the connection between these two aspects is still elusive. In this work, we report such a connection by showing that a standard biochemical model of the chemotactic network is mathematically equivalent to an information-theoretically optimal filtering dynamics. Moreover, we demonstrate that an experimentally observed nonlinear response relation can be reproduced from the optimal dynamics. These results suggest that the biochemical network of E. coli chemotaxis is designed to optimally extract gradient information in a noisy condition.

Data-driven Discovery of Chemotactic Migration of Bacteria via Machine Learning
E. coli chemotactic motion in the presence of a chemoattractant field has been extensively studied using wet laboratory experiments, stochastic computational models as well as partial differential equation-based models (…
Adaptability of non-genetic diversity in bacterial chemotaxis
Bacterial chemotaxis systems are as diverse as the environments that bacteria inhabit, but how much environmental variation can cells tolerate with a single system? Diversification of a single chemotaxis system could ser…
DiversityInfluence of confinement on the spreading of bacterial populations
The spreading of bacterial populations is central to processes in agriculture, the environment, and medicine. However, existing models of spreading typically focus on cells in unconfined settings--despite the fact that m…
Optimal Chemotactic Responses in Stochastic Environments
Most of our understanding of bacterial chemotaxis comes from studies of Escherichia coli. However, recent evidence suggests significant departures from the E. coli paradigm in other bacterial species. This variation may …
Learning black- and gray-box chemotactic PDEs/closures from agent based Monte Carlo simulation data
We propose a machine learning framework for the data-driven discovery of macroscopic chemotactic Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) -- and the closures that lead to them -- from high-fidelity, individual-based stochas…
