A compressed logistic equation on bacteria growth: inferring time-dependent growth rate

C Pinto, K Shimakawa - Physical Biology, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a compressed logistic model for bacterial growth by invoking a time-dependent
rate instead of the intrinsic growth rate (constant), which was adopted in traditional logistic …

Cell size control shapes fluctuations in colony population

C Nieto, C Vargas-García, JM Pedraza… - 2022 IEEE 61st …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
