Swimming patterns of a multi-mode bacterial swimmer in fluid shear flow
Valeriia Muraveva, Agniva Datta, Jeungeun Park +5
Bacterial swimming is well characterized in uniform liquids at rest. The natural habitat of bacterial swimmers, however, is often dominated by moving fluids and interfaces, resulti…
Deciphering the dual chemotaxis strategy of bacteria in porous media
Sönke Beier, Veronika Pfeifer, Agniva Datta +2
Chemotaxis of bacterial swimmers that move in a run-and-turn pattern is well studied in uniform bulk fluid. It is primarily based on modulating the run time in dependence on the sw…
Bundling instability of lophotrichous bacteria
Jeungeun Park, Yongsam Kim, Wanho Lee +4
We present a mathematical model of lophotrichous bacteria, motivated by Pseudomonas putida, which swim through fluid by rotating a cluster of multiple flagella extended from near o…
Intermittent Run Motility of Bacteria in Gels Exhibits Power-Law Distributed Dwell Times
Agniva Datta, Sönke Beier, Veronika Pfeifer +2
While bacterial swimming has been well characterized in uniform liquid environments, only little is known about how bacteria propagate through complex environments, such as gel-lik…
