Proposed model of the transcriptional dynamics displayed in tendril tips and swarm center of a P. aeruginosa swarming colony. Tendril tip cells display an up-regulation of transcripts associated with energy production (ATP synthesis and cytochromes) and ribosomal proteins. At the same time, these cells down-regulate transcription associated with secreted factors (aka virulence factors) and iron acquisition. In contrast, swarm center cells live in a state in which oxidative and copper stress response transcripts are up-regulated.
