Stigmergy co-ordinates multicellular collective behaviours during Myxococcus xanthus surface migration

Surface translocation by the soil bacterium Myxococcus xanthus is a complex multicellular phenomenon that entails two motility systems. However, the mechanisms by which the activities of individual cells are coordinated to manifest this collective behaviour are currently unclear. Here we have develo...
