Swimming of bacterium \textit{Bacillus subtilis} with multiple bundles of flagella
Javad Najafi, Florian Altegoer, Gert Bange +1
We characterize the bundle properties for three different strains of \textit{B. subtilis} bacteria with various numbers of flagella. Our study reveals that, surprisingly, the numbe…
Cross-sectional focusing of red blood cells in a constricted microfluidic channel
Asena Abay, Steffen M. Recktenwald, Thomas John +2
Constrictions in blood vessels and microfluidic devices can dramatically change the spatial distribution of passing cells or particles and are commonly used in biomedical cell sort…
Flagellar number governs bacterial spreading and transport efficiency
Javad Najafi, M. Reza Shaebani, Thomas John +3
Peritrichous bacteria synchronize and bundle their flagella to actively swim while disruption of the bundle leads to tumbling. It is still not known whether the number of flagella…
