This review will introduce the phenomenon of swarming motility from a practical standpoint, synthesize the cellular requirements and phenotypes associated with swarming from diverse model organisms, and discuss some of the mysteries and controversies associated with this type of bacterial cell motility.
The swarming phenomenon of 18 strains was tested with the intention to identify motile, swarming bacteria. Not all bacteria which are motile in liquid are able to swarm on semisolid nutrient broth, but all swarming bacteria show characteristic swarming developments, resulting in different swarming z ….

Sep 8, 2019 · Swarming is a bacterial social behavior where billions of bacteria migrate together over a surface. Many species of bacteria swarm, although the definition and the mechanics of the swarming behavior can differ (Kearns 2010). In P. aeruginosa, swarming can be studied in the lab using Petri dishes with semi-solid agar .
Feb 1, 2008 · Swarming motility is a multicellular phenomenon involving the coordinated and rapid movement of a bacterial population across a semisolid surface ( 14 ). It is widespread among flagellated bacteria, including Salmonella, Vibrio, Yersinia, Serratia, and Proteus ( 9, 18 ).
Mar 15, 2019 · Swarming typically refers to the natural phenomenon of many organisms or agents performing some group movement, such as the synchronized migration of cancer cells, aggregation of insects, flocking or schooling behavior of birds and fish, human crowds and more [ 37, 51, 123, 126, 132 ].
