Abstract

I will treat the behavior of E. coli from the top down, or outside in, beginning with the behavior of cell populations, and then working toward the molecular biology. Imagine an ensemble of self-propelled microscopic particles, moving about in a dilute aqueous medium, robots programmed to respond to external stimuli. How are the robots distributed in space and time?
