    "abstract": "In E. coli the determination of the middle of the cell and the proper\nplacement of the septum is essential to the division of the cell. This step\ndepends on the proteins MinC, MinD, and MinE. Exposure to a constant external\nfield e.g., an electric field or magnetic field may cause the bacteria cell\ndivision mechanism to change resulting in an abnormal cytokinesis. To have\ninsight into the effects of an external field on this process, we model the\nprocess using a set of the deterministic reaction diffusion equations, which\nincorporate the influence of an external field, min protein reactions, and\ndiffusion of all species. Using the numerical method, we have found some\nchanges in the dynamics of the oscillations of the min proteins from pole to\npole when compared that of without the external field. The results show some\ninteresting effects, which are qualitatively in good agreement with some\nexperimental results.",
