Spatial-temporal dynamics of a microbial cooperative behavior resistant to cheating
Bacteria often live in densely packed, spatially-structured communities; however, much of our understanding of their behavior stems from studies in liquid culture. Here, Monaco et al. show how spatial structure and quorum sensing modulate a cooperative behavior in colonies of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
