Extended Data Fig. 8: Emergent global motion modes in bacterial active solids derived from S. marcescens biofilms.
From: Autonomous waves and global motion modes in living active solids
Temporal dynamics of spatially averaged collective velocity in the global oscillatory translation mode (panel a) and oscillatory rotation mode (panel b). The spatially averaged collective velocity was decomposed as Cartesian (yellow and blue traces) and polar-coordinate components (red: tangential or azimuthal component; green: radial component). In the oscillatory translation mode, the polar-coordinate components are negligible; in the oscillatory rotation mode, both the radial and the Cartesian components are negligible.
