A dynamic fluid landscape mediates the spread of bacteria
Divakar Badal, Aloke Kumar, Varsha Singh +1
Microbial interactions regulate their spread and survival in competitive environments. It is not clear if the physical parameters of the environment regulate the outcome of these i…
Active modulation of surfactant driven flow instabilities by swarming bacteria
Harshitha S. Kotian, Shalini Harkar, Shubham Joge +4
Models based on surfactant driven instabilities have been employed to describe pattern formation by swarming bacteria. However, by definition, such models cannot account for the ef…
Tuning the torque-speed characteristics of bacterial flagellar motor to enhance the swimming speed
Praneet Prakash, Amith Z. Abdulla, Varsha Singh +1
In a classic paper, Edward Purcell analysed the dynamics of flagellated bacterial swimmers and derived a geometrical relationship which optimizes the propulsion efficiency. Experim…
A Null-model Exhibiting Synchronized Dynamics in Uncoupled Oscillators
Tuhin Chakrabortty, Akash Suman, Anjali Gupta +2
The phenomenon of phase synchronization of oscillatory systems arising out of feedback coupling is ubiquitous across physics and biology. In noisy, complex systems, one generally o…
Spatial Awareness of a Bacterial Swarm
Harshitha S. Kotian, Shalini Harkar, Shubham Joge +4
Bacteria are perhaps the simplest living systems capable of complex behaviour involving sensing and coherent, collective behaviour an example of which is the phenomena of swarming…
