...Iago Grobas; Dario G. Bazzoli; Munehiro Asally Bacteria can organise themselves into communities in the forms of biofilms and swarms. Through chemical and physical interactions between cells, these communities exhibit emergent properties that individual cells alone do not have. While bacterial...
