Figure 7

Simulation of mutants with different rates of division as compared to the wild-type P. aeruginosa. The mutant models are similar to the wild type except that the energy expenditure is altered, as compared to the wild type. R is the relative division rate, SFL and SFS are the long-range and short-range swarming fitnesses calculated according to Eqn 3 and 4, respectively. A) Population size; B) Speed of front advancement; C) The phases of a simulation experiment (schematic sketch). D) The initial phase of population growth (example).
