abstract = {Nutrient gradients and limitations play a pivotal role in
the life of all microbes, both in their natural habitat as
well as in artificial, microfluidic systems. Spatial
concentration gradients of nutrients in densely packed cell
configurations may locally affect the bacterial growth
leading to heterogeneous micropopulations. A detailed
understanding and quantitative modelling of cellular
behaviour under nutrient limitations is thus highly
desirable. We use microfluidic cultivations to investigate
growth and microbial behaviour of the model organism
Corynebacterium glutamicum under well-controlled conditions.
With a reaction–diffusion-type model, parameters are
extracted from steady-state experiments with a
one-dimensional nutrient gradient. Subsequently, we employ
particle-based simulations with these parameters to predict
the dynamical growth of a colony in two dimensions.
Comparing the results of those simulations with microfluidic
experiments yields excellent agreement. Our modelling
approach lays the foundation for a better understanding of
dynamic microbial growth processes, both in nature and in
applied biotechnology.},
