Probing molecular-motor forces driving Chlamydomonas gliding motility by holographic microscopy
Nicolas Fares, Elorri Garcia, Ahmad Badr +5
The unicellular microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a widely used model microswimmer for biophysicists. However, the interest around C. reinhardtii goes beyond its swimming capa…
Metabolic activity controls the emergence of coherent flows in microbial suspensions
Alexandros A. Fragkopoulos, Florian Böhme, Nicole Drewes +1
Photosynthetic microbes have evolved and successfully adapted to the ever-changing environmental conditions in complex microhabitats throughout almost all ecosystems on Earth. In t…
Light-regulated adsorption and desorption of Chlamydomonas cells at surfaces
Rodrigo E. Catalan, Alexandros A. Fragkopoulos, Nicolas von Trott +4
Microbial colonization of surfaces represents the first step towards biofilm formation, which is a recurring phenomenon in nature with beneficial and detrimental implications in te…
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…
