Deep learning-enhanced Lagrangian 3D Tracking of motile microorganisms

Thierry Darnige, Daniel Midtvedt, Renaud Baillou +5

How microorganisms respond to and interact with their environment can vary significantly from individual to individual, which can have important microbiological and ecological impl…

Confinement controls bacterial spreading at all scales

Renaud Baillou, Marta Pedrosa Garcia-Moreno, Quentin Guigue +5

Navigation of microorganisms is controlled by internal processes ultimately sensitive to mechanical or chemical signaling encountered along the path. In many natural environments,…

The 2024 Motile Active Matter Roadmap

Gerhard Gompper, Howard A. Stone, Christina Kurzthaler +29

Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental aspects of many living and engineering systems. Here, the scale of biological agents covers a wide range, from nanomotors, cytoskelet…

Sedimentation of a single soluble particle at low Reynolds and high Péclet numbers

Nan He, Yutong Cui, David Wai Quan Chin +3

We investigate experimentally the dissolution of an almost spherical butyramide particle during its sedimentation, in the low Reynolds high Péclet regime. The particle sediments in…

Frustrated run and tumble of swimming E-coli bacteria in nematic liquid crystals

Martyna Goral, Eric Clement, Thierry Darnige +2

In many situations bacteria move in complex environments, as for example in soils, oceans or the human gut-track microbiome. In these natural environments, carrier fluids such as m…

Run-to-Tumble Variability Controls the Surface Residence Times of Bacteria

Gaspard Junot, Thierry Darnige, Anke Lindner +6

Motile bacteria are known to accumulate at surfaces, eventually leading to changes in bacterial motility and bio-film formation. We use a novel two-colour, three-dimensional Lagran…
