Slower swimming promotes chemotactic encounters between bacteria and small phytoplankton
Riccardo Foffi, Douglas R. Brumley, François Peaudecerf +2
Chemotaxis enables marine bacteria to increase encounters with phytoplankton cells by reducing their search times, provided that bacteria detect noisy chemical gradients around phy…
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…
Microbial mutualism at a distance: the role of geometry in diffusive exchanges
François J. Peaudecerf, Freddy Bunbury, Vaibhav Bhardwaj +4
The exchange of diffusive metabolites is known to control the spatial patterns formed by microbial populations, as revealed by recent studies in the laboratory. However, the matric…
Feeding ducks, bacterial chemotaxis, and the Gini index
Francois J. Peaudecerf, Raymond E. Goldstein
Classic experiments on the distribution of ducks around separated food sources found consistency with the `ideal free' distribution in which the local population is proportional to…
