Abstract: Classical chemotaxis theory is based on the assumption that microscopic scale bacteria sense the macroscopic scale chemical gradient. In this talk we will take diffusion models with spatial heterogeneity and apply them to obtain chemotaxis phenomena. We will see that the assumption of sensing the gradient is not essential in the chemotaxis theory.
