A two-dimensional simulation of the myxobacteria life cycle with a layer variable to indicate fruiting body locality. A mathematical approach is applied by M.Hendrata and B.Birnir(2012) to discover the transitional trigger of myxobacteria from the swarming stage to the fruiting body formation, or development stage. The following links are videos of the computer simulation: http://vimeo.com/34139536 and http://vimeo.com/35122617
