Following in the footsteps of E. coli: sperm in microfluidic "strictures"
E. Altshuler, G. Miño, A. Lindner +2
We briefly describe the similarities of the experiments of sperm motion in microfluidic "strictures" by Zafeeani et al. in 2019 (Sci. Adv. 5, eaav21111, 2019) and those by Altshule…
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…
Magnetotactic bacteria in a droplet self-assemble into a rotary motor
Benoit Vincenti, Gabriel Ramos, Maria Luisa Cordero +3
From intracellular protein trafficking to large scale motion of animal groups, the physical concepts driving the self-organization of living systems are still largely unraveled. Se…
