Bacteria overwhelmingly live in geometrically confined habitats that feature small pores or
cavities, narrow channels, or nearby interfaces. Fluid flows through these confined habitats …

Bacteria are often discussed as active colloids, self-propelled organisms whose collective
motion can be studied in the context of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. In such …

The near-surface swimming patterns of bacteria are determined by hydrodynamic
interactions between the bacteria and the surface, which trap the bacteria in smooth circular …

Bacteria are important examples of active or self-propelled colloids. Because of their
directed motion, they accumulate near interfaces. There, they can become trapped and swim …

It has recently been reported that bacteria, such as Escherichia coli Bhattacharjee and Datta,
Nat. Commun. 10, 2075 (2019). NCAOBW 2041-1723 10.1038/s41467-019-10115-1 and …

A comparison of the movement characteristics between bacteria with and without wall
accumulation could potentially elucidate the mechanisms of biofilm formation. However …

Using a 3D Lagrangian tracking technique, we determine experimentally the trajectories of
non-tumbling E. coli mutants swimming in a Poiseuille flow. We identify a typology of …

Cellular motility is a key function guiding microbial adhesion to interfaces, which is the first
step in the formation of biofilms. The close association of biofilms and bioremediation has …

A key feature of many living systems, such as bacteria and eukaryotic cells, is their ability to
actively self-propel. Indeed, cellular motility underlies numerous critical biological …

Advances in microfluidics technology has enabled many discoveries on microbial
mechanisms and phenotypes owing to its exquisite controls over biological and chemical …
