The parameters used for the dynCME example simulation are presented in Supplementary Table 2. a Visual representation of the system as a simulation snapshot at \(t=0.75\,{\rm{s}}\). The system is defined as a three-dimensional cube, with the pathogen cell modeled as a sphere centered in the environment. AMP (blue), defensive (red), and complexes (purple) molecules diffuse in the extracellular space and interact with each other as well as with the pathogen cell (yellow). b Spatiotemporal distributions of AMP, defense molecules, and complexes during \(t=3.0\,{\rm{s}}\) represented as two-dimensional kymographs. The x-axis indicates the distance to the pathogen cell (spatial axis), while the y-axis corresponds to the time (temporal axis).
