Physical mechanism reveals bacterial slowdown above a critical number of flagella
Maria Tătulea-Codrean, Eric Lauga
Numerous studies have explored the link between bacterial swimming and the number of flagella, a distinguishing feature of motile multiflagellated bacteria. We revisit this open qu…
Multiflagellarity leads to the size-independent swimming speed of peritrichous bacteria
Shashank Kamdar, Dipanjan Ghosh, Wanho Lee +8
To swim through a viscous fluid, a flagellated bacterium must overcome the fluid drag on its body by rotating a flagellum or a bundle of multiple flagella. Because the drag increas…
Elastohydrodynamic synchronization of rotating bacterial flagella
Maria Tătulea-Codrean, Eric Lauga
To rotate continuously without jamming, the flagellar filaments of bacteria need to be locked in phase. While several models have been proposed for eukaryotic flagella, the synchro…
Asymptotic theory of hydrodynamic interactions between slender filaments
Maria Tătulea-Codrean, Eric Lauga
Hydrodynamic interactions (HIs) are important in biophysics research because they influence both the collective and the individual behaviour of microorganisms and self-propelled pa…
Geometrical constraints on the tangling of bacterial flagellar filaments
Maria Tătulea-Codrean, Eric Lauga
Many species of bacteria swim through viscous environments by rotating multiple helical flagella. The filaments gather behind the cell body and form a close helical bundle, which p…
Artificial chemotaxis of phoretic swimmers: Instantaneous and long-time behaviour
Maria Tătulea-Codrean, Eric Lauga
Phoretic swimmers are a class of artificial active particles that has received significant attention in recent years. By making use of self-generated gradients (e.g. in temperature…
