Non-equilibrium dynamics of bacterial colonies -- growth, active fluctuations, segregation, adhesion, and invasion
Kai Zhou, Marc Hennes, Berenike Maier +2
Colonies of bacteria endowed with a pili-based self-propulsion machinery are ideal models for investigating the structure and dynamics of active many-particle systems. We study Nei…
Adaptive evolution of hybrid bacteria by horizontal gene transfer
Jeffrey J. Power, Fernanda Pinheiro, Simone Pompei +6
Horizontal gene transfer is an important factor in bacterial evolution that can act across species boundaries. Yet, we know little about rate and genomic targets of cross-lineage g…
Molecular motors govern liquid-like ordering and fusion dynamics of bacterial colonies
Anton Welker, Tom Cronenberg, Robert Zoellner +6
Bacteria can adjust the structure of colonies and biofilms to enhance their survival rate under external stress. Here, we explore the link between bacterial interaction forces and…
