Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2014 Significance We propose a class of active matter, the living liquid crystal (LLC), representing motile rod-shaped bacteria placed in water-based nontoxic liquid crystal. Long-range orientational order of the liquid crystal and the swimming activity of bacteria demonstrate a strong coupling that dramatically alters individual and ...
