Optically Trapped Bacteria Pairs Reveal Discrete Motile Response to Control Aggregation upon Cell–Cell Approach
Aggregation of bacteria plays a key role in the formation of many biofilms. The critical first step is cell–cell approach, and yet the ability of bacteria to control the likelihood of aggregation during this primary phase is unknown. Here, we use optical tweezers to measure the force between isolate...
