Abstract excerpt
Within soil, bacteria are found in multispecies communities, where interactions can lead to emergent community properties. Studying bacteria in a social context is critical for investigating community-level functions. We previously showed that cocultured Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 and Pedobacter sp. V48 engage in interspecies social spreading (ISS) on a hard agar surface, a behavior which required close...
