Description
Caption: When two very different strains of bacteria grow together, something miraculous happens Participant category: Faculty/Project Scientist Department: BioCircuits Institute at UC San Diego Diverse interactions among species within bacterial colonies lead to intricate spatiotemporal dynamics (ways they move through space and time), which can affect their growth and survival. These images show some of the complex structures that we discovered when we mixed together motile bacteria, Acinetobacter baylyi, and non-motile, Escherichia coli, and allowed them to grow on a soft agar surface for 24 hours or more starting from a little drop in the center of a Petri dish.
