Model
We developed an Agent Based model to simulate bacterial behavior. The computational object bacteria has many proprierties, such as genotypes, metabolic parameters and identifiers to allow us to track and analyse individual and population level results. The plasmid copy number of each bacteria is associated to a normal distribution with mean μ, ans standar deviation \(\sigma\). Bacterias has two kind of plasmids and mutations are allowed to change between types of plasmids and to increase each bacteria plasmid copy number, representing the SNP mutation between TEM1 and TEM1 and mutation on plasmid replication control mechanism.
