Rheology of Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilms: from experiments to DPD mesoscopic modelling
Jose Martin Roca, Valentino Bianco, Francisco Alarcon +6
The presence of bacterial biofilms in clinical and industrial settings is a major issue worldwide. A biofilm is a viscoelastic matrix, composed of bacteria producing a network of E…
Intrinsic structure perspective for MIPS interfaces in two dimensional systems of Active Brownian Particles
Enrique Chacon, Francisco Alarcon, Jorge Ramirez +2
Suspensions of Active Brownian Particles (ABP) undergo motility induced phase separation (MIPS) over a wide range of mean density and activity strength [1], even in the absence of…
Self-assembly of active amphiphilic Janus particles
S. A. Mallory, F. Alarcon, A. Cacciuto +1
In this article, we study the phenomenology of a two dimensional dilute suspension of active amphiphilic Janus particles. We analyze how the morphology of the aggregates emerging f…
In-silico modeling of early-stage biofilm formation
Pin Nie, Francisco Alarcon Oseguera, Ivan Lopez-Montero +3
Several bacteria and bacteria strands form biofilms in different environmental conditions, e.g. pH, temperature, nutrients, etc. Biofilm growth, therefore, is an extremely robust p…
Self-adaptation of Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilms to hydrodynamic stress
Josue J. Perez, Francisco Alarcon Oseguera, Ajay K. Monnappa +9
In some conditions, bacteria self-organise into biofilms, supracellular structures made of a self-produced embedding matrix, mainly composed on polysaccharides, DNA, proteins and l…
Characterization of MIPS in a suspension of repulsive Active Brownian Particles through dynamical features
Jose Martin, Raul Martinez, Lachlan C. Alexander +5
The two-dimensional Active Brownian Particles system is meant to be composed of hard disks, that show excluded volume interactions, usually simulated via molecular dynamics using p…
