E. coli "super-contaminates" narrow ducts fostered by broad run-time distribution
Nuris Figueroa-Morales, Aramis Rivera, Rodrigo Soto +3
One striking feature of bacterial motion is their ability to swim upstream along corners and crevices, by leveraging hydrodynamic interactions. This motion through anatomic ducts o…
Swimming bacteria in Poiseuille flow: the quest for active Bretherton-Jeffery trajectories
Gaspard Junot, Nuris Figueroa-Morales, Thierry Darnige +4
Using a 3D Lagrangian tracking technique, we determine experimentally the trajectories of non-tumbling E. coli mutants swimming in a Poiseuille flow. We identify a typology of traj…
Oscillatory surface rheotaxis of swimming E. coli bacteria
Arnold Mathijssen, Nuris Figueroa-Morales, Gaspard Junot +3
Bacterial contamination of biological conducts, catheters or water resources is a major threat to public health and can be amplified by the ability of bacteria to swim upstream. Th…
3D spatial exploration by E. coli echoes motor temporal variability
Nuris Figueroa-Morales, Rodrigo Soto, Gaspard Junot +5
Unraveling bacterial strategies for spatial exploration is crucial for understanding the complexity in the organization of life. Bacterial motility determines the spatio-temporal s…
Lagrangian 3D tracking of fluorescent microscopic objects in motion
T. Darnige, N. Figueroa-Morales, P. Bohec +2
We describe the development of a tracking device, mounted on an epi-fluorescent inverted microscope, suited to obtain time resolved 3D Lagrangian tracks of fluorescent passive or a…
Living on the edge: transfer and traffic of E. coli in a confined flow
Nuris Figueroa-Morales, Gastón Miño, Aramis Rivera +4
We quantitatively study the transport of E. coli near the walls of confined microfluidic channels, and in more detail along the edges formed by the interception of two perpendicula…
