Reverse-Engineering Self-Organized Behavior in Myxococcus xanthus Biofilms
Myxococcus xanthus ( M. xanthus ) is a gram-negative, rod-shaped soil-dwelling predatory bacterium. It can move on solid surfaces forming cooperative single-species biofilm in which various self-organizing patterns are observed. Under distinct environmental conditions, these bacteria can swarm outwa...
