Myxobacteria are rod-shaped, social bacteria that are able to move on flat surfaces by ’gliding’ and form a fascinating example of how simple cell-cell interaction rules, including alignment and reversal of individuals, can lead to emergent, collective behaviour. In this talk a new kinetic model of Boltzmann-type for such colonies of myxobacteria will be introduced and investigated. For the spatially homogeneous case an existence and uniqueness result will be shown, as well as expo- nential decay to an equilibrium for the Maxwellian collision operator. Further, model extensions and their analysis will be addressed and numerical simulations will be shown.
