Inferring the Chemotactic Strategy of P. putida and E. coli Using Modified Kramers-Moyal Coefficients.

Many bacteria perform a run-and-tumble random walk to explore their surrounding and to perform chemotaxis. In this article we present a novel method to infer the relevant parameters of bacterial motion from experimental trajectories including the tumbling events. We introduce a stochastic model for...
