Collective bacterial condensation is fundamentally constrained by the emergence of active turbulence

This study shows that bacterial condensation is limited by active turbulence caused by correlated swimming, and that porous environments enhance condensation by suppressing this turbulence.

Single-array measurements reveal non-uniform, mosaic-like chemosensory arrays in bacteria

The paper measures individual chemosensory arrays in live E. coli cells, revealing non-uniform, mosaic-like structures with diverse and growth-phase-dependent sensory properties.

Multiple sources of slow activity fluctuations in a bacterial chemosensory network

The paper characterizes noise sources in the Escherichia coli chemotaxis pathway using single-cell FRET and fluctuation-dissipation theorem analysis, revealing methylation-independent thermal fluctuations and receptor interactions contribute significantly to activity noise.
