Fig. 7From: A statistical physics view of swarming bacteriaChiral movement of swarms. a A macroscopic view of the curls formed when P. dendritiformis type-C grow on agar. No particular curvature is obtained, but the direction is the same. b The microscopic view of a colony similar to the one seen in (a). The “roads” of bacteria are thin curls. The elongated rod-shaped cells move along these roads back and forthBack to article page
