Migration and accumulation of bacteria with chemotaxis and chemokinesis
Theresa Jakuszeit, James Lindsey-Jones, François J. Peaudecerf +1
Bacteria can chemotactically migrate up attractant gradients by controlling run-and-tumble motility patterns. In addition to this well-known chemotactic behaviour, several soil and…

Helical and oscillatory microswimmer motility statistics from differential dynamic microscopy
Ottavio A. Croze, Vincent A. Martinez, Theresa Jakuszeit +3
The experimental characterisation of the swimming statistics of populations of microorganisms or artificially propelled particles is essential for understanding the physics of acti…

Diffusion of active particles in a complex environment: Role of surface scattering
Theresa Jakuszeit, Ottavio A. Croze, Samuel Bell
Experiments have shown that self-propelled particles can slide along the surface of a circular obstacle without becoming trapped over long times. Using simulations and theory, we s…
