Single-cell twitching chemotaxis in developing biofilms

Bacteria form surface-attached communities, known as biofilms, which are central to bacterial biology and how they affect us. While surface attached bacteria often experience strong chemical gradients, it remains unclear whether single cells can effectively perform chemotaxis on surfaces. Here we us...
