Chemotactic bacteria not only navigate chemical gradients, but also shape their
environments by consuming and secreting attractants. Investigating how these processes …

Increasing interest in chemotaxis or cell migration in the presence of concentration gradient
of certain chemical species has motivated the need for generating stable uniform …

Cells can adjust to their growth environments and regulate their behavior accordingly. To
study how cells accomplish this growth-dependent adjustment from the molecular to the …

A microfluidic device to quantify bacterial chemotaxis has been proposed, which generates
a linear concentration gradient of chemoattractant in the main channel only by convective …

The current state-of-art in 3D microfluidic chemotaxis device (μFCD) is limited by the
inherent coupling of the fluid flow and chemical concentration gradients. Here, we present …

Planktonic bacteria navigate chemical gradients using temporal sensing to detect changes
in concentration over time as they swim. Here we show that surface-attached bacteria use a …

Swimming bacteria sense and respond to chemical signals in their environment.
Chemotaxis is the directed migration of a bacterial population toward increasing …

Chemotaxis is the ability of an organism to move in response to gradients of chemicals
called chemoattractants. Many species of bacteria are known to exhibit chemotaxis to a wide …

Many bacteria actively bias their motility towards more favourable nutrient environments. In
liquid, cells rotate their corkscrew-shaped flagella to swim, but in surface attached biofilms …

The emerging field of micro-technology has opened up new possibilities for exploring
cellular chemotaxis in real space and time, and at single cell resolution. Chemotactic cells …
