In a recent study, scientists from MPI-DS's Department of Living Matter Physics built a model that describes ways to interact in bacterial communities. Bacteria exhibit a general organisational structure by sensing chemical concentrations in their environment and adapting their movement.
In a 'self-organized' environment, the live cell contains physiologically important components such as genetic material (DNA) and proteins. Understanding this process of self-assembly can explain the fundamental mechanism of living matter self-organization. Water/oil (w/o) or water/water (w/
