Form and function in biological filaments: A physicist's review
Jan Cammann, Hannah Laeverenz-Schlogelhofer, Kirsty Y. Wan +1
Nature uses elongated shapes and filaments to build stable structures, generate motion, and allow complex geometric interactions. In this Review, we examine the role of biological…
Topological transition in filamentous cyanobacteria: from motion to structure
Jan Cammann, Mixon K. Faluweki, Nayara Dambacher +2
Many active systems are capable of forming intriguing patterns at scales significantly larger than the size of their individual constituents. Cyanobacteria are one of the most anci…
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…
Active Spaghetti: Collective Organization in Cyanobacteria
Mixon K. Faluweki, Jan Cammann, Marco G. Mazza +1
Filamentous cyanobacteria can show fascinating examples of nonequilibrium self-organization, which however are not well-understood from a physical perspective. We investigate the m…
Emergent probability fluxes in confined microbial navigation
Jan Cammann, Fabian Jan Schwarzendahl, Tanya Ostapenko +3
When the motion of a motile cell is observed closely, it appears erratic, and yet the combination of nonequilibrium forces and surfaces can produce striking examples of organizatio…
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…
