Collective motion and nonequilibrium cluster formation in colonies of gliding bacteria
Fernando Peruani, Joern Starruss, Vladimir Jakovljevic +3
We characterize cell motion in experiments and show that the transition to collective motion in colonies of gliding bacterial cells confined to a monolayer appears through the orga…
