Fig. 2: Cells frequently transit from individual to collective states.

From: Multi-scale dynamic imaging reveals that cooperative motility behaviors promote efficient predation in bacteria

Fig. 2

a Schematic line plot of cell class transitions observed in a single-cell trajectory. b Histogram of number of motile cells transitions per trajectory for wild-type data accumulated from six experimental replicates. c Single-cell transitions of motile cells for wild-type data accumulated from six experimental replicates. Left: examples of state transitions occurring in single-cell trajectories of wild-type cells. Track IDs are indicated in each example. Middle: overlay of state transitions from all trajectories. Right: state transition probabilities between classes. “n” represents the total number of tracks. d, e Same representations as in c but for S-motile (A-S+) cells (d) and A-motile (A+S-) cells (e).
