Shaping nematic order in bacterial films with single-cell resolution patterning
Single-cell patterning of bacterial spores shows that parallel initial orientations create highly ordered nematic films that buckle synchronously, while orthogonal seeding yields chaos, enabling macroscopic control of alignment and optical anisotropy in living films.
