Escherichia coli Remodels the Chemotaxis Pathway for Swarming
The fundamental motile behavior of E. coli is a random walk, where straight “runs” are punctuated by “tumbles.” This behavior, conferred by the chemotaxis signaling system, is used to track chemical gradients in liquid. Our study results show that when migrating collectively on surfaces, E. coli mod...
