Contact-dependent communication shapes the mesoscale spatial organization of bacterial swarms

Eliotte E. Garling, Morgan Byers, Elizabeth Bradley, James D. Meiss, Karine A. Gibbs

This paper develops mathematical methods to analyze bacterial swarm structures and finds that cell-cell communication and kin recognition shape population architecture during collective migration.

Kristin Little, Jacob L. Austerman, Jenny Zheng, Karine A. Gibbs

This study shows that Proteus mirabilis changes cell length and collective behavior in response to surface density and LPS-environment interactions.
