Figure 5

Swarming of P. aeruginosa in vivo and in silico. The cells' phenotype is indicated on the left. The swarming plates (center) were developed as described in the Methods section. The computer model (left) shows the behavior of the in silico model, which is in agreement with the lab. Green color was used for the wild-type, blue for SN, and red for SB cells. (+) indicates that SB cells have a basal (solitary) level expression of signal S, that is preserved in all states but does not increase upon the onset of swarming.
