Living liquid crystals are biosynthetic composites, comprised of living bacteria and liquid crystals, that exhibit unique optical and mechanical properties. A new computational model and set of experiments show how defects in the liquid crystal can concentrate or deplete the bacteria, suggesting a novel method for control and manipulation of microbial populations.
