Flow-polarity decoupling and universal mobility enhancement in dense bacterial active fluids with mesoscale order
Yuhao Wang, Premkumar Leishangthem, Yiming Ding +2
Active fluids consisting of living cells or synthetic microswimmers display rich emergent behavior and nonequilibrium mechanical properties, which not only shed light on various bi…
Bacterial dimensions sensitively regulate surface diffusivity and residence time
Premkumar Leishangthem, Xuan Wang, Junan Chen +2
Run-and-tumble is a common but vital strategy that bacteria employ to explore environment suffused with boundaries, as well as to escape from entrapment. In this study we reveal ho…
Cell aspect ratio important for bacterial rheotaxis
Jiachen Zhong, Xinliang Xu
When placed in flows with local shear, flagellated bacteria commonly display reorientations towards the local vorticity direction, a chirality-induced rheotactic behavior of great…
Achieving adjustable elasticity with non-affine to affine transition
Xiangying Shen, Chenchao Fang, Zhipeng Jin +7
For various engineering and industrial applications it is desirable to realize mechanical systems with broadly adjustable elasticity to respond flexibly to the external environment…
Active suspensions of bacteria and passive objects: a model for the near field pair dynamics
Bokai Zhang, Yang Ding, Xinliang Xu
Near field hydrodynamic interactions are essential to determine many important emergent behaviors observed in active suspensions, but have not been successfully modeled so far. In…
Symmetric shear banding and swarming vortices in bacterial "superfluids"
Shuo Guo, Devranjan Samanta, Yi Peng +2
Bacterial suspensions--a premier example of active fluids--show an unusual response to shear stresses. Instead of increasing the viscosity of the suspending fluid, the emergent col…
