Abstract Understanding of Bacteria cell division is essential for an understanding of microorganism as well as the origin of the life. Particularly, in cell division process of \emph {E. coli}, Min proteins (MinD and MinE) play crucial roles to regulate the dividing dynamics physically via their oscillatory dynamics from pole to pole. In this work, we have developed a numerical scheme based on the mesoscopic Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) to simulate the coarse-grained coupled reaction-diffusion equations model used to describe the MinD/MinE interaction in two dimensions. Biologically, we have focused on investigating how the protein copies affect the oscillation patterns as… More >
