Immobility of isolated swarmer cells due to local liquid depletion

Abstract Bacterial swarming is a complex phenomenon in which thousands of self-propelled rod-shaped cells move coherently on surfaces, providing a highly studied example of active matter. However, bacterial swarming is different from most studied examples of active systems because single isolated ce...
