Predation assays depicting predator avoidance of survivor P. putida on nutrient-free media. (A) Predation assay depicting complete swarming of C. ferrugineus on spotted prey lawns with no visible parent P. putida biomass after 3 days (t = d3) red arrows indicate C. ferrugineus swarm edge. (B) Predation assay depicting predator avoidance observed from survivor P. putida lawns and visible biomass remaining with minimal C. ferrugineus swarming after 3 days (t = d3); red arrows indicate C. ferrugineus swarm edge. (C) Time to predation data for parent P. putida and survivor P. putida (n = 3; p ≤ 0.002) with (D) end point CFU data (n = 3; p ≤ 0.006) to determine differences in cell viabilities post-swarming. Unpaired t-test with Welch’s correction used for statistical analyses included in (C,D); all scale bars depict 1 mm.
