Visualization of Biosurfactant Film Flow in a Bacillus subtilis Swarm Colony on an Agar Plate

Collective bacterial dynamics plays a crucial role in colony development. Although many research groups have studied the behavior of fluidic swarm colonies, the detailed mechanics of its motion remains elusive. Here, we developed a visualization method using submicron fluorescent beads for investiga...
