We also demonstrated that periodic reversals of motion direction with periods within the experimentally observed range, high flexibility of bacterial cells and a moderate level of strength of cell-cell adhesion are crucial for a colony of self-propelled rod-shaped Myxococcus xanthus to spread protein within the population efficiently.	cache/bc386h4682f.txt	txt/bc386h4682f.txt
