Effects of shear thinning viscosity and viscoelastic stresses on flagellated bacteria motility
Zijie Qu, Kenneth S. Breuer
The behavior of flagellated bacteria swimming in non-Newtonian media remains an area with contradictory and conflicting results. We report on the behavior of wild-type and smooth-s…

Changes in the flagellar bundling time account for variations in swimming behavior of flagellated bacteria in viscous media
Zijie Qu, Fatma Zeynep Temel, Rene Henderikx +1
Although the motility of the flagellated bacteria, Escherichia coli, has been widely studied, the effect of viscosity on swimming speed remains controversial. The swimming mode of…
