Individual bacterial cells can use spatial sensing of chemical gradients to direct chemotaxis on surfaces

Swimming bacteria navigate chemical gradients using temporal sensing to detect changes in concentration over time. Here we show that surface-attached bacteria use a fundamentally different mode of sensing during chemotaxis. We combined microfluidic experiments, massively parallel cell tracking and f...
