Bacterial patterning controlled by light exposure

Org Biomol Chem. 2015 Feb 14;13(6):1639-42. doi: 10.1039/c4ob02483d.

Abstract

Patterning of multiple bacterial strains in one system is achieved by employing a single photo-activated antibiotic. Varying the light-exposure time results in zones with mixed and single populations.
