Figure 5From: Modeling heterocyst pattern formation in cyanobacteriaAverage ntcA expression profiles for cells located between two consecutive heterocysts with a distance . Simulations were performed using 5000 random uniformly distributed binary initial conditions, restricted to biologically feasible conditions. This characteristic shape for ntcA activation profiles could not be achieved if the activation values were considered as boolean instead of taking continuous values in the [0,1] interval.Back to article page
