Spatial self-organization resolves conflicts between individuality and collective migration

Spatial self-organization resolves conflicts between individuality and collective migration

How bacteria migrate collectively despite individual phenotypic variation is not understood. Here, the authors show that cells spontaneously sort themselves within moving bands such that variations in individual tumble bias, a determinant of gradient climbing speed, are compensated by the local grad...
