Engineering Collective Microbial Dynamics for Sustainable Thermal Management
Nilanjan Mondal, Soumitree Mishra, Anupam Sengupta
The rapid growth of energy-intensive technologies, including artificial intelligence, large-scale computing, and thermal management systems, has intensified global energy demand am…
Ecological memory of hydrodynamic cues shapes growth and migration of motile microorganisms
Narges Kakavand, Anupam Sengupta
Microorganisms live in inherently dynamic environments where fluctuations in biotic and abiotic factors shape their behaviour, physiology, and fitness. The concept of ecological me…
Nascent biofilms on soft surfaces
Garima Rani, G. H. Philipp Nguyen, René Wittmann +2
Soft surfaces, spanning vastly different environmental and biomedical settings, are frequently colonised by surface-associated bacteria. Yet, how soft surfaces govern bacterial dyn…
Substrate stiffness governs dynamics and self-organization of nascent biofilms
Garima Rani, Anupam Sengupta
The evolutionary success of bacteria lies in their ability to form complex surface-associated communities in diverse biophysical settings. However, it remains poorly understood how…
Tipping points in fitness landscape of heterogeneous populations
Sumana Bhattacharyya, Uttam Singh, Anupam Sengupta
Predicting fitness of biologically-active populations, communities or systems in fluctuating environments is a long-standing challenge. Phenotypic plasticity and bet-hedging strate…
Substrate stiffness modulates bacterial adhesion and diversity of adherent phenotypes across growth stages
René Riedel, Garima Rani, Anupam Sengupta
Surface-adhesion and stiffness of underlying substrates mediate geometry, mechanics and self-organization of bacterial colonies. Recent studies have qualitatively indicted that sti…
Toward a realistic model of multilayered bacterial colonies
M. T. Khan, J. Cammann, A. Sengupta +2
Bacteria are prolific at colonizing diverse surfaces under a widerange of environmental conditions, and exhibit fascinating examples of self-organization across scales. Though it h…
Role of Motility and Nutrient Availability in Drying Patterns of Algal Droplets
Anusuya Pal, Anupam Sengupta, Miho Yanagisawa
Sessile drying droplets in various bio-relevant systems, encompassing passive bio-colloids like DNA, proteins, and blood to active microbes, gain considerable attention due to intr…
Microbes in porous environments: From active interactions to emergent feedback
Chenyu Jin, Anupam Sengupta
Microbes thrive in diverse porous environments -- from soil and riverbeds to human lungs and cancer tissues -- spanning multiple scales and conditions. Short- to long-term fluctuat…
