Explore the fascinating world of bacterial spreading in complex 3D environments through this 27-minute conference talk. Delve into cutting-edge research that combines soft matter physics, 3D imaging, and biophysical modeling to unravel how bacteria navigate and thrive in crowded spaces. Discover innovative techniques for visualizing bacterial collectives, 3D-printing structured colonies, and modeling their large-scale motion and growth. Learn how these insights are reshaping our understanding of bacterial behavior in diverse habitats, from soils and sediments to biological gels and tissues. Gain valuable knowledge on predicting and controlling bacterial spread, shape adaptation, and growth regulation, with potential applications in agriculture, biotechnology, environmental science, and medicine. Presented by Sujit Datta at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) as part of the Workshop on "Transport Properties in Soft Matter Systems," this talk offers a unique perspective on the dynamic world of bacterial collectives and their ability to reshape themselves in response to their environment.
