Encapsulated bacteria deform lipid vesicles into flagellated swimmers
Lucas Le Nagard, Aidan T. Brown, Angela Dawson +3
We study a synthetic system of motile Escherichia coli bacteria encapsulated inside giant lipid vesicles. Forces exerted by the bacteria on the inner side of the membrane are suffi…
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…
Dynamics-dependent density distribution in active suspensions
Jochen Arlt, Vincent A Martinez, Angela Dawson +2
Self-propelled colloids constitute an important class of intrinsically non-equilibrium matter. Typically, such a particle moves ballistically at short times, but eventually changes…
Reduced adhesion between cells and substrate confers selective advantage in bacterial colonies
Craig Watson, Paul Hush, Joshua Williams +4
Microbial colonies cultured on agar Petri dishes have become a model system to study biological evolution in populations expanding in space. Processes such as clonal segregation an…
Painting with bacteria: Smart templated self assembly using motile bacteria
Jochen Arlt, Vincent A Martinez, Angela Dawson +2
External control of the swimming speed of `active particles' can be used to self assemble designer structures in situ on the micrometer to millimeter scale. We demonstrate such rec…
Escherichia coli as a model active colloid: a practical introduction
Jana Schwarz-Linek, Jochen Arlt, Alys Jepson +6
The flagellated bacterium Escherichia coli is increasingly used experimentally as a self-propelled swimmer. To obtain meaningful, quantitative results that are comparable between d…
