Summary

Description
English: Different bacterial locomotion strategies: gliding (focal adhesion model) (adapted from Islam and Mignot, 2015), swarming (adapted from Kearns, 2010), and swimming. The direction of bacteria movement is indicated by black arrows.

The direction of bacteria movement is indicated by the arrows.
