    "abstract": "One of the most important steps in the developmental process of the bacteria\ncell at the cellular level is the determination of the middle of the cell and\nthe proper placement of the septum, these being essential to the division of\nthe cell. In E. coli, this step depends on the proteins MinC, MinD, and MinE.\nExposure to a constant electric field may cause the bacteria cell division\nmechanism to change, resulting in an abnormal cytokinesis. To see the effects\nof an external field e.g., an electric or magnetic field on this process, we\nhave solved a set of deterministic reaction diffusion equations, which\nincorporate the influence of an electric field. We have found some changes in\nthe dynamics of the oscillations of the min proteins from pole to pole. The\nnumerical results show some interesting effects, which are qualitatively in\ngood agreement with some experimental results.",
