Motility and self-organization of gliding Chlamydomonas populations
Sebastian Till, Florian Ebmeier, Alexandros A. Fragkopoulos +2
Cellular appendages such as cilia and flagella represent universal tools enabling cells and microbes, among other essential functionalities, to propel themselves in diverse environ…
Light controls motility and phase separation of photosynthetic microbes
Alexandros A. Fragkopoulos, Jérémy Vachier, Johannes Frey +4
Large ensembles of interacting, out-of-equilibrium agents are a paradigm of active matter. Their constituents' intrinsic activity may entail the spontaneous separation into localiz…
Hybrid sideways/longitudinal swimming in the monoflagellate Shewanella oneidensis: from aerotactic band to biofilm
Laura Stricker, Isabella Guido, Thomas Breithaupt +2
Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 are facultative aerobic electroactive bacteria, with an appealing potential for sustainable energy production and bioremediation. They gather around air…
Curvature-guided motility of microalgae in geometric confinement
Tanya Ostapenko, Fabian Jan Schwarzendahl, Thomas Böddeker +4
Microorganisms, such as bacteria and microalgae, often live in habitats consisting of a liquid phase and a plethora of interfaces. The precise ways in which these motile microbes b…
A trophallaxis inspired model for distributed transport between randomly interacting agents
Johannes Gräwer, Henrik Ronellenfitsch, Marco G. Mazza +1
A trophallaxis inspired model for distributed transport between randomly interacting agents Trophallaxis, the regurgitation and mouth to mouth transfer of liquid food between membe…
The Physics of Biofilms -- An Introduction
Marco G. Mazza
Biofilms are complex, self-organized consortia of microorganisms that produce a functional, protective matrix of biomolecules. Physically, the structure of a biofilm can be describ…
