HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Marie-Cécilia Duvernoy from the École Research University have published the paper: Asymmetric adhesion of rod-shaped bacteria controls microcolony morphogenesis, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
- what: The authors show that adhesion to the substrate is stronger at the old pole of individual bacteria, creating adhesion foci at the scale of the microcolony.
SUMMARY
Surface-attached communities are seeded by single adhering bacteria, which after few division cycles form microcolonies. During monolayer expansion, proliferating bacteria adhere to the surface. The turgor pressure that builds up within bacteria . . .
