From: The impact of natural transformation on adaptation in spatially structured bacterial populations
The number of bacteria along the equator layer of a 5 × 100 space in two adapting and adapted bacterial populations at three transformation rates for the adapting type: u = 0 , u = 10- 3and u = 10- 2. The non-transforming population (brown) has already adapted to the environment and grows from a bacterium of genotype 1 located at position (3,80). The adapting population consists of two genotypes (0: blue, 1: red) and grows from a bacterium located at position (3,20). The frequencies of different genotypes are taken at time points 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000. Parameters take value: r = 0.1 for the adapted population and r = 0.105 for the adapting population, K = 100, m = 10- 2, s = 0.01, v = 10- 2, μ = 10- 6, g = 10- 1, c = 0.
