Dynamically induced spatial segregation in multispecies bacterial bioconvection by Oscar Gallardo-Navarro, Rinat Arbel-Goren, Elias August, Gabriela Olmedo-Alvarez, Joel Stavans

“…Segregation is observed as patterns of spatially interlocked domains, with local dominance of one of the constituent species in the suspension. Our findings suggest that segregation mechanisms are driven by species-specific motile behaviors under conditions of hydrodynamic flow, rather than biochemical repulsion. …”
