Simple models of microbial dynamics and evolution (part 3)
- Event time: 11:30am
- Event date: 2nd May 2012

- Location: Room 2511, James Clerk Maxwell Building (JCMB) James Clerk Maxwell Building Peter Guthrie Tait Road Edinburgh EH9 3FD GB
Event details
I will continue the discussion of competition between species. I will show how a simple chemostat experiment can be used to determine the difference in the growth rates of two bacterial species. I will then briefly discuss multiple species competing for the same resource. In the second part of my talk I will move to modeling evolving bacterial populations in which genotypes can change into other genotypes via mutations or conjugation - a sort of microbial "sex".
