A statistical physics view of swarming bacteria
Bacterial swarming is a collective mode of motion in which cells migrate rapidly over
surfaces, forming dynamic patterns of whirls and jets. This review presents a physical point …

C-di-GMP Regulates Motile to Sessile Transition by Modulating MshA Pili Biogenesis and Near-Surface Motility Behavior in Vibrio cholerae
In many bacteria, including Vibrio cholerae, cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-
GMP) controls the motile to biofilm life style switch. Yet, little is known about how this occurs …
