Multicellular organization in a degradative biofilm community.
Diclofop methyl, a commercial herbicide, was used as the sole carbon source to cultivate diclofop-degrading biofilms in continuous-flow slide culture. The biofilms were analyzed by using scanning confocal laser microscopy and image analysis. Spatial relationships among members of the community were distinctive to diclofop-grown biofilms. These relationships did not develop when the biofilms wer...
متن کاملRole of Multicellular Aggregates in Biofilm Formation.
UNLABELLED In traditional models ofin vitrobiofilm development, individual bacterial cells seed a surface, multiply, and mature into multicellular, three-dimensional structures. Much research has been devoted to elucidating the mechanisms governing the initial attachment of single cells to surfaces. However, in natural environments and during infection, bacterial cells tend to clump as multicel...
متن کاملMulticellular Development, Self-Organization, and Differentiation
This paper describes experiments performed using a multicellular test-bed, the Evolutionary Developmental System (EDS). The EDS is an objectoriented model of biological development designed for the study of 3D multicellular development and differentiation. Genetic regulatory networks are used to specify and control the construction of varied multicellular morphologies. The construction of these...
متن کاملSelf-organization of Symbiotic Multicellular Structures
This paper presents a new model for the development of artificial creatures from a single cell. The model aims at providing a more biologically plausible abstraction of the morphogenesis and the specialization process, which the organogenesis follows. It is built upon three main elements: a cellular physics system that simulates division and intercellular adhesion dynamics, a simplified cell cy...
متن کاملCell organization and ultrastructure of a magnetotactic multicellular organism.
Magnetotactic multicellular aggregates and many-celled magnetotactic prokaryotes have been described as spherical organisms composed of several Gram-negative bacteria capable to align themselves along magnetic fields and swim as a unit. Here we describe a similar organism collected in a large hypersaline lagoon in Brazil. Ultrathin sections and freeze fracture replicas showed that the cells are...
