Seeing new depths: Three-dimensional flow of a free-swimming alga
Gregorius Pradipta, Wanho Lee, Van Tran +8
A swimming microorganism stirs the surrounding fluid, creating a flow field that governs not only its locomotion and nutrient uptake, but also its interactions with other microorga…
Flagellum Pumping Efficacy in Shear-Thinning Viscoelastic Fluids
Aaron Barrett, Aaron L. Fogelson, M. Gregory Forest +3
Microorganism motility often takes place within complex, viscoelastic fluid environments, e.g., sperm in cervicovaginal mucus and bacteria in biofilms. In such complex fluids, stra…
Multiflagellarity leads to the size-independent swimming speed of peritrichous bacteria
Shashank Kamdar, Dipanjan Ghosh, Wanho Lee +8
To swim through a viscous fluid, a flagellated bacterium must overcome the fluid drag on its body by rotating a flagellum or a bundle of multiple flagella. Because the drag increas…
