Motility enhancement through surface modification is sufficient for cyanobacterial community organization during phototaxis.
The emergent behaviors of communities of genotypically identical cells cannot be easily predicted from the behaviors of individual cells. In many cases, it is thought that direct cell-cell communication plays a critical role in the transition from individual to community behaviors. In the unicellula...
