Contact-induced molecular reorganization in E. coli model lipid membranes

Nicolo Tormena, Teuta Pilizota, Kislon Voïtchovsky

Biological membranes are complex, dynamic structures essential for cellular compartmentalization, signaling, and mechanical integrity. The molecular organization of eukaryotic memb…

Steady state running rate sets the speed and accuracy of accumulation of swimming bacterial populations

Margaritis Voliotis, Jerko Rosko, Teuta Pilizota +1

We study the chemotaxis of a population of genetically identical swimming bacteria undergoing run and tumble dynamics driven by stochastic switching between clockwise and countercl…

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…

Single-cell bacterial electrophysiology reveals mechanisms of stress-induced damage

Ekaterina Krasnopeeva, Chien-Jung Lo, Teuta Pilizota

Electrochemical gradient of protons, or proton motive force (PMF), is at the basis of bacterial energetics. It powers vital cellular processes and defines the physiological state o…

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…

Osmotaxis in Escherichia coli through changes in motor speed

Jerko Rosko, Vincent Martinez, Wilson Poon +1

Bacterial motility, and in particular repulsion or attraction towards specific chemicals, has been a subject of investigation for over 100 years, resulting in detailed understandin…

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…
