Mucin Promotes Bacterial Swarming by Making the Agar Surface More Slippery

When inoculated on the surface of soft agar containing nutrients, many species of motile bacteria can grow into a dense population and spread across the surface by a form of motility called swarming. We study the swarming behavior of Enterobacter sp. SM3, a species of bacteria that exhibits a swarm-...
