Local Pheromone Release from Dynamic Polarity Sites Underlies Cell-Cell Pairing during Yeast Mating.

TL;DR: It is proposed that efficient cell pairing relies on fluctuating local signal emission and perception, which become locked into place through stimulation, which leads to efficient pair formation.

Single-cell control of initial spatial structure in biofilm development using laser trapping
Jaime Hutchison,Christopher A. Rodesney,Karishma S. Kaushik,Henry H. Le,Daniel Hurwitz,Yasuhiko Irie,Vernita Gordon +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that laser-trapping and placing bacteria on surfaces can reveal the effects of spatial structure on bacterial growth in early biofilm development, and is presented a method for growing biofilms from initiating cells whose positions are controlled with single-cell precision using laser trapping.

The extracellular polysaccharide Pel makes the attachment of P. aeruginosa to surfaces symmetric and short-ranged
Benjamin Cooley,Travis Thatcher,Sara M. Hashmi,Guillaume L'Her,Henry H. Le,Daniel Hurwitz,Daniele Provenzano,Ahmed Touhami,Vernita Gordon +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that Pel promotes symmetric attachment, in the form of rod-shaped bacteria lying down flat on the surface, and that the presence of Pel makes attachment forces more short-ranged than they are with Psl alone, and it is suggested that these effects may result from synergistic interactions of Pel with the Psl polymeric matrix.
