Self-organization of swimmers drives long-range fluid transport in bacterial colonies
Haoran Xu, Justas Dauparas, Debasish Das +2
Bacteria commonly live in structured communities that affect human health and influence ecological systems. Heterogeneous populations, such as motile and non-motile populations, of…
Computing the motor torque of Escherichia coli
Debasish Das, Eric Lauga
The rotary motor of bacteria is a natural nano-technological marvel that enables cell locomotion by powering the rotation of semi-rigid helical flagellar filaments in fluid environ…
Swimming of peritrichous bacteria is enabled by an elastohydrodynamic instability
Emily E. Riley, Debasish Das, Eric Lauga
Peritrichously-flagellated bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, self-propel in fluids by using specialised motors to rotate multiple helical filaments. The rotation of each motor is…
Helical micropumps near surfaces
Justas Dauparas, Debasish Das, Eric Lauga
Recent experiments proposed to use confined bacteria in order to generate flows near surfaces. We develop a mathematical and a computational model of this fluid transport using a l…
