Sophisticated swarming: Bacteria support each other across generations
From University of Basel 30/11/23 When bacteria build communities, they cooperate and share nutrients across generations. Researchers at the University of Basel have been able to demonstrate this for the first time using a newly developed method. This innovative technique enables the tracking of gene expression during the development of bacterial communities over space and […]
