Applying data technologies to combat AMR: current status, challenges, and opportunities on the way forward

Leonid Chindelevitch, Elita Jauneikaite, Nicole E. Wheeler +24

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing public health threat, estimated to cause over 10 million deaths per year and cost the global economy 100 trillion USD by 2050 under stat…

Encounter rates between bacteria and small sinking particles

Jonasz Słomka, Uria Alcolombri, Eleonora Secchi +2

Bacteria in aquatic environments often interact with particulate matter. A key example is bacterial degradation of marine snow responsible for carbon export from the upper ocean in…

Modeling the impact of dilution on the microbial degradation time of dispersed oil in marine environments

Vicente I. Fernandez, Roman Stocker, Gabriel Juarez

Dispersants aid the breakup of crude oil masses and increase the available interfacial surface area for bacteria to degrade insoluble hydrocarbons in the marine environment. Howeve…

Bacteria push the limits of chemotactic precision to navigate dynamic chemical gradients

Douglas R. Brumley, Francesco Carrara, Andrew M. Hein +3

Ephemeral aggregations of bacteria are ubiquitous in the environment, where they serve as hotbeds of metabolic activity, nutrient cycling, and horizontal gene transfer. In many cas…

Physical Limits on Bacterial Navigation in Dynamic Environments

Andrew M. Hein, Douglas R. Brumley, Francesco Carrara +2

Many chemotactic bacteria inhabit environments in which chemicals appear as localized pulses and evolve by processes such as diffusion and mixing. We show that, in such environment…

Turbulent fluid acceleration generates clusters of gyrotactic microorganisms

Filippo De Lillo, Massimo Cencini, William M. Durham +4

The motility of microorganisms is often biased by gradients in physical and chemical properties of their environment, with myriad implications on their ecology. Here we show that f…
