Abstract
A colony of Bacillus subtilis bacteria was forced to migrate to catch up with a shielded region on the petri-dish where all the other parts of the dish were exposed to an ultraviolet light. This made the unshielded bacteria immotile. A one-dimensional example where bacteria were diffusing on a line parametrized, and were subject to some environmental heterogeneity that implied fluctuating growth rate, was considered.
