- W4226022601 abstract "A wide range of biological systems, from microbial swarms to bird flocks, display emergent behaviors driven by coordinated movement of individuals. To this end, individual organisms interact by recognizing their kin and adjusting their motility based on others around them. However, even in the best-studied systems, the mechanistic basis of the interplay between kin recognition and motility coordination is not understood. Here, using a combination of experiments and mathematical modeling, we uncover the mechanism of an emergent social behavior in Myxococcus xanthus. By overexpressing the cell surface adhesins TraA and TraB, which are involved in kin recognition, large numbers of cells adhere to one another and form organized macroscopic circular aggregates that spin clockwise or counterclockwise. Mechanistically, TraAB adhesion results in sustained cell-cell contacts that trigger cells to suppress cell reversals, and circular aggregates form as the result of cells' ability to follow their own cellular slime trails. Furthermore, our in silico simulations demonstrate a remarkable ability to predict self-organization patterns when phenotypically distinct strains are mixed. For example, defying naive expectations, both models and experiments found that strains engineered to overexpress different and incompatible TraAB adhesins nevertheless form mixed circular aggregates. Therefore, this work provides key mechanistic insights into M. xanthus social interactions and demonstrates how local cell contacts induce emergent collective behaviors by millions of cells. IMPORTANCE In many species, large populations exhibit emergent behaviors whereby all related individuals move in unison. For example, fish in schools can all dart in one direction simultaneously to avoid a predator. Currently, it is impossible to explain how such animals recognize kin through brain cognition and elicit such behaviors at a molecular level. However, microbes also recognize kin and exhibit emergent collective behaviors that are experimentally tractable. Here, using a model social bacterium, we engineer dispersed individuals to organize into synchronized collectives that create emergent patterns. With experimental and mathematical approaches, we explain how this occurs at both molecular and population levels. The results demonstrate how the combination of local physical interactions triggers intracellular signaling, which in turn leads to emergent behaviors on a population scale." @default.
