Simulation using a tube like geometry
The circumference of a bacterium is not negligible in relation to its axial extension. Even when initiated by random fluctuations, the proposed mechanism leads to a single band of MinE activity which travels perpendicular to the long axis of the cylinder. The following simulation shows one full localization cycle of MinD (green) and MinE (red).
