Spatio-temporal distributions of bacteria performing the four different behaviors.

<p>Spatial location () plotted against the initial metabolic state of the simulated bacteria . The distribution of in the environment is indicated by the black curve. Blue points indicate bacteria that have died due to excess (), red points indicate bacteria that have died due to running low of autocatalyst (), and green points indicated bacteria that are alive (). The four behaviors produce qualitatively different spatio-temporal distributions.
