Spatiotemporal development of growth and death zones in expanding bacterial colonies driven by emergent nutrient dynamics

Harish Kannan, Hui Sun, Mya R Warren…·Terence Hwa

This study shows that bacterial colony expansion is driven by mechanical constraints and nutrient gradients, with cell death occurring in a distinct zone due to glucose depletion and anaerobiosis.

Sustained growth and rapid dispersal of chitin-associated marine bacteria

Ghita Guessous, Vadim Patsalo, Rohan Balakrishnan…·Terence Hwa

This study shows that Vibrio sp. 1A01 grows on chitin particles with a replicating subpopulation and a planktonic majority, sustained by chitinases left by detached cells.
