| contents | Escherichia coli has long been a trusty companion, maintaining health in our guts and advancing biological knowledge in the laboratory. In light of recent findings, we discuss multicellular self-organization in E. coli and develop general ideas for multicellularity, including the necessity for multicellular dynamics and interpretation by dynamic graphs, applicable to both unicellular and multicellular organisms. In this context, we next discuss the documented behaviors of E. coli self-organization (rosette formation, multicellular extension, and attached dormancy) and two potential behaviors (internal communication and mating). Finally, by comparing the dynamic graphs for different communities, we develop principles relevant to the theory of multicellularity. |
