Novel methods for analysing bacterial tracks reveal persistence in Rhodobacter sphaeroides.

Tracking bacteria using video microscopy is a powerful experimental approach to probe their motile behaviour. The trajectories obtained contain much information relating to the complex patterns of bacterial motility. However, methods for the quantitative analysis of such data are limited. Most swimm...
