What is the survival probability of a single frontier cell with a driver mutation?

28 Spatial population genetics and fluid flow Life first evolved in a liquid environment! Cyanobacterium Synechococcus Effect of compressible fluid flow on the Fisher Equation What is the effect on fluid motion on spatial population genetics? R. Benzi, M. Jensen P. Perlecar, S. Pigolotti F. Toschi Severine Atis, Bryan Weinstein & Andrew Murray

30 Compressible population genetics with two interacting species Compressible turbulent flow (Re ~10 5) 2 2 ( u) / ( u ) 0.17 i j time Survival of the luckiest Wanted: simple repeatable experiments that explore how fluid flows affect spatial population genetics. High Reynolds numbers might be hard to achieve in the laboratory, but low Reynolds numbers can also be biologically relevant Can we impose a flow with pumps and syringes, such that the doubling time τ 2 << τ eddy, where τ eddy is a eddy turnover time?

31 Actually, microorganisms grown on a liquid but highly viscous substrates create their own flows (without pumps and syringes!) Hard Agar Epoch of genetic demixing stretched out. Liquid Media Yeast on a 1% hard agar YPD plate (viscosity η = ) Yeast on a liquid but highly viscous YPD media with 3% cellulose (η 600 Pa-s) (the viscosity of water is η 10-3 Pa-s; our viscosities are times larger) The colony metabolism (after only two generation times) generates fluid flows that dilate the colony radially.

32 Deformations of features inside colony in liquid regimes are consistent with flow-induced dilation!

33 PIV (particle imaging velocimetry) measurements quantify the self-induced flow under the colony Air Liquid Like an anti-helmholtz coil!

34 What is the origin of the flow beneath colonies growing on liquid substrates? = dextrose wikipedia

35 Flow simulations Isobars and isoclines in the absence of flow (η = ) A thresholdless baroclinic instability generates a ring of vorticity beneath the colony.

36 Liquid-like fingering instabilities (moderate substrate viscosity η 450 Pa-s) Happy 4 th of July (and Bastille Day!) Dynamics of a finger: Rayleigh-Plateau type instability with growth?

37 Solid-like colony fragmentation (low substrate viscosity η 85 Pa-s) Colony takes over plate in one day!

38 Microbes on highly viscous liquids generate buoyant flows that alter colony morphology and evolutionary dynamics

Convection. forced convection when the flow is caused by external means, such as by a fan, a pump, or atmospheric winds. Convection The convection heat transfer mode is comprised of two mechanisms. In addition to energy transfer due to random molecular motion (diffusion), energy is also transferred by the bulk, or macroscopic,
