    "abstract": "Determining the middle of the bacteria cell and the proper placement of the\nseptum is essential to the division of the bacterial cell. In E. coli, this\nprocess depends on the proteins MinC, MinD, and MinE. Here, the Lattice\nBoltzmann method (LBM) is used to study the dynamics of the oscillations of the\nmin proteins from pole to pole. This determines the midcell division plane at\nthe cellular level. The LBM is applied to the set of the deterministic reaction\ndiffusion equations proposed by Howard et. al. [1] to describe the dynamics of\nthe Min proteins. The LBM results are in good agreement with those of Howard et\nal, and agree qualitatively with the experimental results. Our good results\nindicate that the LBM can be an alternative computational tool for simulating\nproblems dealing with complex biological system which are described by the\nreaction-diffusion equations.",
