对“紫外线照射下细菌菌落的群集环模式”一文的评论

Comment on "Swarming Ring Patterns in Bacterial Colonies Exposed to Ultraviolet Radiation"

Anke Ordemann, Frank Moss

摘要:

对A.M. Delprato等人的论文“暴露于紫外线辐射的细菌菌落中的群集环模式”的评论,Phys. Rev. Lett 87,158 - 102(2001),我们指出,他们观察到的暴露于紫外线(UV)辐射的土壤细菌枯草芽孢杆菌菌落形成的环斑图形成可能是由进化为生活在三维环境中的能动细菌的人工限制到二维几何形状引起的。我们建议,为了研究枯草芽孢杆菌对来自上方的紫外线辐射的反应,开创性的实验应该具有三维设置。

英文摘要:

Commenting on the paper "Swarming Ring Patterns in Bacterial Colonies Exposed to Ultraviolet Radiation" of A.M. Delprato et al., Phys. Rev. Lett 87, 158102 (2001) we point out that their observed ring pattern formation by colonies of soil bacteria Bacillus subtilis exposed to ultra violet (UV) radiation might be caused by the artificial confinement of motile bacteria evolved to live in a 3-dimensional environment to a 2-dimensional geometry. We propose that to investigate the reaction of Bacillus subtilis to UV radiation coming from above, a seminal experiment should have a 3-dimensional setup.
