Cargo Transport Shapes the Spatial Organization of a Microbial Community

2018-05-09

Abstract excerpt

The human microbiome is an assemblage of diverse bacteria that interact with one another to form communities. Bacteria in a given community are arranged in a three-dimensional matrix with many degrees of freedom. Snapshots of the community display well-defined structures, but the steps required for their assembly are not understood. Here, we show that this construction is carried out with the help of gliding bacte...
