How individual P. aeruginosa cells with diverse stator distributions collectively form a heterogeneous macroscopic swarming population

The paper shows that P. aeruginosa cells with different stator distributions create a heterogeneous swarming population through dynamic stator recruitment and motor intermittency.

Bacterial mechanosensing of surface stiffness promotes signaling and growth leading to biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa responds to surface stiffness through mechanosensing, affecting signaling, growth, and biofilm formation.

Non-motile subpopulations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa repress flagellar motility in motile cells through a type IV pili- and Pel-dependent mechanism

The paper shows non-motile Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells repress swarming motility in motile cells via type IV pili and Pel exopolysaccharide.

Flagellar stators stimulate c-di-GMP production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

This study shows that flagellar stators in Pseudomonas aeruginosa stimulate c-di-GMP production, creating a feedback loop that regulates motility and biofilm formation.
