Type IV Pilus Shapes a ‘Bubble-Burst’ Pattern Opposing Spatial Intermixing of Two Interacting Bacterial Populations
ABSTRACT Microbes are social organisms that commonly live in sessile biofilms. Spatial patterns of populations within biofilms can be important determinants of community-level properties. Spatial intermixing emerging from microbial interaction is one of the best-studied characteristics of spatial pa...
