Rheologically tuned diffusion modulates quorum sensing in Vibrio fischeri
Chunhe Li, Zixiang Lin, Hongyi Bian +3
Understanding how the physical properties of a fluid influence bacterial behavior is essential for explaining how microorganisms interact with their environment and with animal hos…
Boundaries Program Deformation in Isolated Active Networks
Zixiang Lin, Shichen Liu, Shahriar Shadkhoo +9
Cellular structures must organize themselves within strict physical constraints, operating with finite resources and well-defined boundaries. Classical systems demonstrate only pas…
Directed swimming of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii near complex microstructures
Chunhe Li, Hongyi Bian, Zixiang Lin +2
The locomotion of microorganisms near solid-liquid interfaces is of significant scientific interest due to its relevance in various natural and industrial contexts, including biofi…
Active turbulence in shear-thinning fluid
Hongyi Bian, Chunhe Li, Zixiang Lin +5
The study of active matter system has critical importance in revealing the physical essence of biological collective behavior. Dense bacterial suspension-a typical biological activ…
Hydrodynamic interaction leads to the accumulation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii near a solid-liquid interface
Chunhe Li, Hongyi Bian, Yateng Qiao +2
The physical mechanism of microbial motion near solid-liquid interfaces is crucial for understanding various biological phenomena and developing ecological applications. However, l…
Propulsion Contribution from Individual Filament in Flagellar Bundle
Jin Zhu, Yateng Qiao, Lingchun Yan +11
Flagellated microorganisms overcome the low-Reynolds-number time reversibility by rotating helical flagella. For peritrichous bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, the randomly distr…
