Figure 6. The physical model of M. xanthus cell.

Figure 6

A cell model with three nodes (Nā€Š=ā€Š3) and its orientation are shown. For algorithm implementation purpose, each cell node is numbered with leading pole as node 1 and lagging pole as node Inline graphic. Any two consecutive nodes are connected by a segment of length L. Cell is allowed to turn or bend to some angle Inline graphic.
