Bacteria have developed a large array of motility mechanisms to exploit available resources
and environments. These mechanisms can be broadly classified into swimming in aqueous …

How bacterial chemotaxis is performed is much better understood than why. Traditionally,
chemotaxis has been understood as a foraging strategy by which bacteria enhance their …

Bacterial biohybrids, composed of self-propelling bacteria carrying micro/nanoscale
materials, can deliver their payload to specific regions under magnetic control, enabling …

By controlling nutrient cycling and biomass production at the base of the food web,
interactions between phytoplankton and bacteria represent a fundamental ecological …

Locomotion and transport of microorganisms in fluids is an essential aspect of life. Search
for food, orientation toward light, spreading of off-spring, and the formation of colonies are …

Bacteria-propelled biohybrid microswimmers have recently shown to be able to actively
transport and deliver cargos encapsulated into their synthetic constructs to specific regions …

Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental in living and engineering systems. This
has stimulated the new field of'active matter'in recent years, which focuses on the physical …

Self-propelled particles include both self-phoretic synthetic colloids and various
microorganisms. By continually consuming energy, they bypass the laws of equilibrium …

Random walk is a fundamental concept with applications ranging from quantum physics to
econometrics. Remarkably, one specific model of random walks appears to be ubiquitous …

Fluid dynamics plays a crucial role in many cellular processes, including the locomotion of
cells such as bacteria and spermatozoa. These organisms possess flagella, slender …
