Liquid phase separation controlled by pH
Omar Adame-Arana, Christoph A. Weber, Vasily Zaburdaev +2
We present a minimal model to study liquid phase separation in a fixed pH ensemble. The model describes a mixture composed of macromolecules that exist in three different charge st…
How bacterial cells and colonies move on solid substrates
Wolfram Pönisch, Christoph A. Weber, Vasily Zaburdaev
Many bacteria rely on active cell appendages, such as type IV pili, to move over substrates and interact with neighboring cells. Here, we study the motion of individual cells and b…
Pili mediated intercellular forces shape heterogeneous bacterial microcolonies prior to multicellular differentiation
Wolfram Pönisch, Kelly Eckenrode, Khaled Alzurqa +4
Microcolonies are aggregates of a few dozen to a few thousand cells exhibited by many bacteria. The formation of microcolonies is a crucial step towards the formation of more matur…
