Table 1 Average and standard deviation for the distance between heterocysts in the absence of nitrogen for the wild type , when patS expression has been knocked-out and when hetR has been over-expressed . Simulations consider a transport factor D = = 0.767 and 5000 biologically feasible randomly chosen initial conditions.
