Failed Escape: Solid Surfaces Prevent Tumbling of Escherichia coli

M Molaei, M Barry, R Stocker, J Sheng - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
Understanding how bacteria move close to surfaces is crucial for a broad range of microbial
processes including biofilm formation, bacterial dispersion, and pathogenic infections. We …

Dynamics of swimming bacteria at complex interfaces

D Lopez, E Lauga - Physics of Fluids, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
Flagellated bacteria exploiting helical propulsion are known to swim along circular
trajectories near surfaces. Fluid dynamics predicts this circular motion to be clockwise (CW) …

Sorting of chiral microswimmers

M Mijalkov, G Volpe - Soft Matter, 2013 - pubs.rsc.org
Microscopic swimmers, eg, chemotactic bacteria and cells, are capable of directed motion by
exerting a force on their environment. For asymmetric microswimmers, eg, bacteria …
