Sequence of images taken from movie S1A (see also movies S1B–E) that show a bacterium escaping from an obstacle (not visible in images) in soft agar. The time stamp of the frame is shown above each image. The cell is at rest in every image except in the last two where the white arrows indicate the direction of the displacement of the bacterium’s body. The mean speed of the bacterium during straight run was of 13±2 μm/s. The white scale bar at the bottom left of the first image measures 5 μm. See text for more details.
