The predictions of the model, in terms of the average circular area enclosing the leading edge of the expanding colony, are superimposed onto the corresponding experimental image in Figure 8A C, E G showing that the parameterised model accurately matches the experimental observations.
In the case of the Müller et al. data set, our computed repression peaks are somewhat broader than the corresponding experimental ones (see Figure 5A).
The biomass growth rate and the biofilm formation predicted by our modeling approach for these four phosphate concentrations were plotted with the corresponding experimental data in Figure 6.
The resulting curves show that, for the r = 1.0 case (solid line), minimum systolic SR Ca is a biphasic function of SR Ca. The descending limb of the relationship (from points ii to iii) goes in the same direction as the corresponding experimental points in Figure 7 C.
The effect of ILs on the EPS of S. mutans was evaluated, and no significant difference in the exopolysaccharide level was found between corresponding experimental and control groups (Figure 6). Figure 6 CLSM observation of S. mutans biofilms treated with ILs.
The body weights predicted for weeks S13 S24 and the corresponding experimental data are plotted in Figure 3.
The distributions of the theoretical elongations versus time, obtained using (1), and those of the corresponding experimental data are reported in Figure 4.
Two averaged simulated cell density profiles for simulations with D = 81 μmhour−1 at t=48 hours using low cell to cell adhesion strength, q=0.1, and strong cell to cell adhesion strength, q=0.9, are superimposed onto the corresponding experimental cell density profile in Figure 5E.
The comparison between the theoretical elongations (in mm) versus time along x, y, and z of trabecula A, obtained from (1) using the values of D x, D y, and D z and β x, β y, and β z, is listed in Table 1, and the corresponding experimental data is shown in Figure 3.
As stated earlier the above set of figures come with corresponding experimental results overlaid which will be explained in the next section.
