Polymertropism of rod-shaped bacteria: movement along aligned polysaccharide fibers

Abstract In nature, bacteria often live in surface-associated communities known as biofilms. Biofilm-forming bacteria typically deposit a layer of polysaccharide on the surfaces they inhabit; hence, polysaccharide is their immediate environment on many surfaces. In this study, we examined how the ph...
