Bacterial route finding and collective escape in mazes and fractals

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Trung V. Phan from the DepartmentPrinceton University, Princeton, New Jersey, USA have published the paper: Bacterial Route Finding and Collective Escape in Mazes and Fractals, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 22/07/2020
• what: The authors show that chemosensitive motile E. coli can efficiently explore nontrivial mazes in times much shorter than a no-memory (Markovian) walk would predict and can collectively escape from a fractal topology. The authors show that chemotactic bacteria get temporarily trapped in a fractal but eventually escape in a collective manner. As the authors show, depending on the sign . . .
