Microfluidics has significantly contributed to the expansion of the frontiers of microbial
ecology over the past decade by allowing researchers to observe the behaviors of microbes …

Taxis has been reported in many cells and microorganisms, due to their tendency to migrate
toward favorable physical situations and avoid damage and death. Thermotaxis and …

Living active matter systems such as bacterial colonies, schools of fish and human crowds,
display a wealth of emerging collective and dynamic behaviours as a result of far-from …

In bacteria various tactic responses are mediated by the same cellular pathway, but sensing
of physical stimuli remains poorly understood. Here, we combine an in-vivo analysis of the …

Pantoea ananatis is a widespread phytopathogen with a broad host range. Despite its ability
to infect economically important crops, such as maize, rice and onion, relatively little is …

Naturally occurring gradients often extend over relatively long distances such that their
steepness is too small for bacteria to detect. We studied the bacterial behavior in such …

In Escherichia coli, the ratio of the two most abundant chemoreceptors, Tar/Tsr, has become
the focus of much attention in bacterial taxis studies. This ratio has been shown to change …

Navigation of cells to the optimal environmental condition is critical for their survival and
growth. Escherichia coli cells, for example, can detect various chemicals and move up or …

To add to the current state of knowledge about bacterial swimming dynamics, in this paper,
we study the fractal swimming dynamics of populations of Serratia marcescens bacteria both …

The last decade has seen remarkable growth in the development of bio-hybrid micron-scale
systems, which combine bacteria, tissue, and other biological material with synthetic …
