Bacteria push the limits of chemotactic precision to navigate dynamic chemical gradients
Douglas R. Brumley, Francesco Carrara, Andrew M. Hein +3
Ephemeral aggregations of bacteria are ubiquitous in the environment, where they serve as hotbeds of metabolic activity, nutrient cycling, and horizontal gene transfer. In many cas…

Physical Limits on Bacterial Navigation in Dynamic Environments
Andrew M. Hein, Douglas R. Brumley, Francesco Carrara +2
Many chemotactic bacteria inhabit environments in which chemicals appear as localized pulses and evolve by processes such as diffusion and mixing. We show that, in such environment…
