Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrodynamic attraction of swimming microorganisms by surfaces
TL;DR: It is demonstrated theoretically that hydrodynamic interactions of the swimming cells with solid surfaces lead to their reorientation in the direction parallel to the surfaces, as well as their attraction by the closest wall, which compares favorably with measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-Time Imaging of Fluorescent Flagellar Filaments
TL;DR: A simple procedure for fluorescently labeling cells and filaments that allows recording their motion in real time with an inexpensive video camera and an ordinary fluorescence microscope with mercury-arc or strobed laser illumination is found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Escherichia coli swim on the right-hand side
Willow R. DiLuzio,Linda Turner,Michael Mayer,Piotr Garstecki,Douglas B. Weibel,Howard C. Berg,George M. Whitesides +6 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that when cells are confined between two interfaces—one an agar gel and the second PDMS—they swim closer to the agar surface than to the PDMS surface, leading to the preferential movement on the right of the microchannel, and the choice of materials guides the motion of cells in microchannels.
Journal ArticleDOI
On Torque and Tumbling in Swimming Escherichia coli
TL;DR: Bacteria swim by rotating long thin helical filaments, each driven at its base by a reversible rotary motor, and motor reversals were necessary, although not always sufficient, to cause changes in filament chirality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moving Fluid with Bacterial Carpets
TL;DR: A solid-fluid interface is activated by attaching flagellated bacteria to a solid surface by adsorbing swarmer cells of Serratia marcescens to polydimethylsiloxane or polystyrene, creating flat constructs called "bacterial carpets" that generate both translation and rotation.
