Slower swimming promotes chemotactic encounters between bacteria and small phytoplankton
Riccardo Foffi, Douglas R. Brumley, François Peaudecerf +2
Chemotaxis enables marine bacteria to increase encounters with phytoplankton cells by reducing their search times, provided that bacteria detect noisy chemical gradients around phy…
Fluid flow generates bacterial conjugation hotspots by increasing the rate of shear-driven cell-cell encounters
Matti Zbinden, Jana S. Huisman, Natasha Blitvic +2
Conjugation accelerates bacterial evolution by enabling bacteria to acquire genes horizontally from their neighbors. Plasmid donors must physically encounter and connect with recip…
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…
