We aim to generate complex spatio-temporal patterns to visualise the effects of  quorum sensing and to track the cell interactions within the community. Also, selective patterning of the different 'species' will allow for new 'racetrack' or 'playing field' type of interactivity. WATERS, C. M. &amp; BASSLER, B. L.
