Motile bacteria collectively transport soil water during host colonisation
Nutrient availability in soil is temporally and spatially heterogeneous, and, as a result, microbial migration is critical for many species. The nature of microbial movement in soil, however, is unknown due to a lack of observations and experimental data. We developed live-imaging and image-analysis techniques to track the movement of single cells through soil to elucidate how Bacillus subtilis…
