Journal ArticleDOI
Swimming in circles: motion of bacteria near solid boundaries
TL;DR: A hydrodynamic model is provided for near a solid boundary, Escherichia coli swims in clockwise circular motion and the radius of curvature of the trajectory is observed to increase with the length of the bacterium body.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microfabrication meets microbiology
TL;DR: This Review summarizes methods for constructing systems and structures at micron or submicron scales that have applications in microbiology and focuses on the application of soft lithographic techniques to the study of microorganisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of monodisperse bubbles in a microfluidic flow-focusing device
Piotr Garstecki,Irina Gitlin,Willow R. DiLuzio,George M. Whitesides,Eugenia Kumacheva,Howard A. Stone +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for generating monodisperse gaseous bubbles in a microfluidic flow-focusing device is described, where bubbles self-assemble into highly ordered, flowing lattices.
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
Microoxen: Microorganisms to move microscale loads
Douglas B. Weibel,Piotr Garstecki,Declan Ryan,Willow R. DiLuzio,Michael Mayer,Jennifer E. Seto,George M. Whitesides +6 more
TL;DR: This study presents a method for harnessing the power produced by biological motors that uses intact cells and uses unicellular, biflagellated algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as "microoxen".
