Confinement Discerns Swarmers from Planktonic Bacteria
[article]

pre-print
Powered by flagella, many species of bacteria exhibit collective motion on a solid surface commonly known as swarming. Physical changes like cell elongation and hyper flagellation have been shown to accompany swarming phenotype. Less noticeable, however, are the contrasts of collective motion between the swarming cells and the planktonic cells of comparable cell density. Here, we show that when confined by microwells of specific sizes mounted on a soft agar surface, novel bacteria Enterobacter
