A parametric L-system is developed to model the growth and structure of the fungus Aspergillus nidulans. The model uses biological understanding of the flow of nutrients through the fungus to control the simulation of growth, with L-systems productions being dependent on the levels of nutrients, stored as parameters, in various parts of the model. This produces a structural model that is consistent with previous observations of the natural fungus. Visual interpretation of the L-systems string uses a turtle graphics method. When stochastic rules are implemented to model specific features of Aspergillus nidulans, the simulation is convincing both visually and structurally. Other potential applications for the method are suggested. |
