Author(s): Yuanfeng Yin, Bokai Zhang, H. P. Zhang, and Shuo Guo The study of Serratia marcescens at the air-water interface reveals interfacial bacterial turbulence as a distinct class of active turbulence in which the size of the vortices produced scales with the length of the bacteria indicating a microscopic origin.
