# Considering the pattern-forming abilities of ''Paenibacillus Vortex'', I am interested in depicting the communication pathways between nutrients and bacteria. Basically, how the bacteria reach for its nutrients. I am planning on isolating the ''Paenibacillus Vortex'' on agar and adding ''Pepton'' as a nutrient. | # Considering the pattern-forming abilities of ''Paenibacillus Vortex'', I am interested in depicting the communication pathways between nutrients and bacteria.
