Interconnected Cavernous Structure of Bacterial Fruiting Bodies

A–C) Snapshots from simulation over time. Frame (A) shows the initial locations of the first few spores within the mound. Blue arrows in (B) point to regions where groups of two and three spores form together. (C) Later stage of simulation shows the distribution of spores filling in around the disc. D) Spore positions in disc at end of simulation. Radius of disc is 50 microns. E) Local density field for simulation results in (D). Circles show several radii values for radial local density. F) Radial local density distribution for (E).
