Active segregation in binary mixtures under flow

Giacomo Di Dio, Rémy Colin

This study shows motile bacteria induce segregation of non-motile cells in confined flow, leading to asymmetric biofilm formation through a physical mechanism involving rheotactic drift and sedimentation.

Swarming bacteria exhibit developmental phase transitions to establish scattered colonies in new regions

Amanda M. Zdimal, Giacomo Di Dio, Wanxiang Liu, Tanya Aftab, Taryn Collins, Rémy Colin, Abhishek Shrivastava

The paper studies T9SS-driven bacterial swarms, showing they transition through phase changes to form scattered microcolonies, reducing competition in the oral microbiota.
