Motility-induced buckling and glassy dynamics regulate three-dimensional transitions of bacterial monolayers
Sho C. Takatori, Kranthi K. Mandadapu
Many mature bacterial colonies and biofilms are complex three-dimensional (3D) structures. One key step in their developmental program is a transition from a two-dimensional (2D) m…

Active Contact Forces Drive Non-Equilibrium Fluctuations in Membrane Vesicles
Sho C. Takatori, Amaresh Sahu
We analyze the non-equilibrium shape fluctuations of giant unilamellar vesicles encapsulating motile bacteria. Owing to bacteria--membrane collisions, we experimentally observe a s…

Inertial Effects on the Stress Generation of Active Fluids
Sho C. Takatori, John F. Brady
Suspensions of self-propelled bodies generate a unique mechanical stress owing to their motility that impacts their large-scale collective behavior. For microswimmers suspended in…
