Insights on the spatial distribution of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa secondary metabolites under swarming motility-inducing conditions using mass spectrometry imaging [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumPseudomonas aeruginosa exhibits a variety of motility types, including twitching, swimming, and swarming motility. The latter is typically associated with growth on semi-solid surfaces (e.g., 0.4% to 0.5% agar), the formation of extending tendrils, and ...
