Reversible formation of multicellular assemblies at the N-I interface. (A) Estimated minimum separation distance as a function of time between (B and C) two motile P. mirabilis cells that undergo LC elasticity-mediated end-on-end association and between (D and E) two motile P. mirabilis cells that dissociate from a chain-like assembly. Scale bars are 5 μm. To see this figure in color, go online.
