Abstract
Patterns of more or less regular polygons, sometimes seen in dishes containing a still suspension of motile cells, are merely examples of a physical phenomenon resulting from a Raleigh-Taylor instability. Similar patterns can be produced by dead cells or inanimate particles when a stratified suspension system is inverted.
