Self-transport of swimming bacteria is impaired by porous microstructure
Amin Dehkharghani, Nicolas Waisbord, Jeffrey S. Guasto
Motility is a fundamental survival strategy of bacteria to navigate porous environments. Swimming cells thrive in quiescent wetlands and sediments at the bottom of the marine water…
Disorder suppresses chaos in viscoelastic flows
Derek M. Walkama, Nicolas Waisbord, Jeffrey S. Guasto
Viscoelastic flows transition from steady to time-dependent, chaotic dynamics under critical flow conditions, but the implications of geometric disorder for flow stability in these…
Environment-dependent swimming strategy of Magnetococcus marinus under magnetic field
Nicolas Waisbord, Christopher Lefèvre, Lydéric Bocquet +2
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are fascinating micro-organisms which possess embodied biomineralized nanomagnets providing them the ability to orient with the Earth's magnetic field.…
Destabilization of a flow focused suspension of magnetotactic bacteria
Nicolas Waisbord, Christopher Lefevre, Lyderic Bocquet +2
Active matter is a new class of material, intrinsically out-of equilibrium with intriguing properties. So far, the recent upsurge of studies has mostly focused on the spontaneous b…
Velocity condensation for magnetotactic bacteria
Jean-Francois Rupprecht, Nicolas Waisbord, Christophe Ybert +2
Magnetotactic swimmers tend to align along magnetic field lines against stochastic reorientations. We show that the swimming strategy, e.g. active Brownian motion versus run-and-tu…
