From: Microbial hitchhiking: how Streptomyces spores are transported by motile soil bacteria
Aerial Streptomyces spores are transported on the cm-scale to plant root systems by directly adhering to the flagella of motile bacteria (inset). Here, the spores germinate and produce antibiotics (red gradient) to ward off microbial competitors (Color figure online).
