▪ Abstract It has been a decade since multicellularity was proposed as a general bacterial
trait. Intercellular communication and multicellular coordination are now known to be …

▪ Abstract In nature, bacteria must often cope with difficult environmental conditions. To do so
they have developed sophisticated cooperative behavior and intricate communication …

BACTERIAL colonies must often cope with unfavourable environmental conditions1, 2. To
do so, they have developed sophisticated modes of cooperative behaviour3–10. It has been …

In nature, microorganisms must often cope with hostile environmental conditions. To do so
they have developed sophisticated cooperative behaviour and intricate communication …

This book gives a systematic overview on the scientific fundamentals of crystal growth from
the classical phenomenological description to the recent theoretical contributions of …

" As someone who has spent forty years in psychology with a long-standing interest in
evolution, I'll just assimilate Howard Bloom's accomplishment and my amazement."-DAVID …

We study a biologically inspired, inherently non-equilibrium model consisting of self-
propelled particles. In the model, particles move on a plane with a velocity of constant …

Depending on the environmental conditions bacterial colonies growing on agar surfaces
can exhibit complex colony formation and various types of collective motion. Experimental …

We demonstrate that a system of self-propelled particles exhibits spontaneous symmetry
breaking and self-organization in one dimension, in contrast with previous analytical …

Various bacterial strains exhibit colonial branching patterns during growth on poor
substrates. These patterns reflect bacterial cooperative self-organization and cybernetic …
