Abstract:
|
Clarifying the community organization, as reflected in the spatial distribution of microbes, is required to understand the role of biofilm in human and environmental health. Continuing advance in spectral imaging technologies has facilitated the collection of data displaying how multiple taxa are located relative to each other. However, widely used quantitative methods are limited to describing spatial patterns of one or two taxa at a time and thus are not able to capture complex architecture of biofilm. In this paper, we propose a multivariate spatial point process model that can quantify spatial relationships among multiple taxa in biofilm image. An efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm is developed to implement the methodology. We have successfully applied the proposed model to data from banked images of tongue biofilm.
