3(H) Specifying Species: BactEPS

The BactEPS species behaves just like the Bacterium species, with one small change: capsular EPS is excreted continuously at a defined rate rather than during discrete events like for a Bacterium. During excretion, an agent will distribute any excreted EPS to neighbouring EPS agents of that type, or will create a new EPS agent if none are nearby. This new functionality requires specification of one additional parameter: the hydrolysis rate kHyd, which controls the rate at which capsular EPS is excreted to neighboring EPS particles.

Besides this change the mark-up for BactEPS is the same as for Bacterium.
