Methods to evaluate bacterial motility and its role in bacterial–host interactions

V Palma, MS Gutiérrez, O Vargas, R Parthasarathy… - Microorganisms, 2022 - mdpi.com
Bacterial motility is a widespread characteristic that can provide several advantages for the
cell, allowing it to move towards more favorable conditions and enabling host-associated …

Recent advances in experimental design and data analysis to characterize prokaryotic motility

MM Dubay, J Acres, M Riekeles, JL Nadeau - Journal of Microbiological …, 2023 - Elsevier
Bacterial motility plays a key role in important cell processes such as chemotaxis and biofilm
formation, but is challenging to quantify due to the small size of the individual …

Predictive local field theory for interacting active Brownian spheres in two spatial dimensions

J Bickmann, R Wittkowski - Journal of Physics: Condensed …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a predictive local field theory for the nonequilibrium dynamics of interacting
active Brownian particles with a spherical shape in two spatial dimensions. The theory is …

Collective dynamics of active Brownian particles in three spatial dimensions: a predictive field theory

J Bickmann, R Wittkowski - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics of spherical active Brownian particles in three
spatial dimensions that interact via a pair potential. The investigation is based on a …

Stochastic dynamics of Lagrangian pore‐scale velocities in three‐dimensional porous media

A Puyguiraud, P Gouze, M Dentz - Water Resources Research, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Upscaling dispersion, mixing, and reaction processes from the pore to the Darcy scale is
directly related to the understanding of the dynamics of pore‐scale particle velocities, which …

Retention of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide in porous media: Diffusion-attachment, interception-attachment and straining

J Song, Y Zeng, Y Liu, W Jiang - Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2022 - Elsevier
The aggregation, deposition and retention of graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene
oxide (RGO) were investigated systematically to estimate their mobility in the environment …

Sequential epidemic-like spread between agglomerates of self-propelled agents in one dimension

P de Castro, F Urbina, A Norambuena… - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
Motile organisms can form stable agglomerates such as cities or colonies. In the outbreak of
a highly contagious disease, the control of large-scale epidemic spread depends on factors …

Impact of confined geometries on hop** and trap** of motile bacteria in porous media

LJ Perez, T Bhattacharjee, SS Datta, R Parashar… - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
We use a random walk particle-tracking (RWPT) approach to elucidate the impact of porous
media confinement and cell-cell interactions on bacterial transport. The model employs …

On modeling ensemble transport of metal reducing motile bacteria

X Yang, R Parashar, NL Sund, AE Plymale… - Scientific reports, 2019 - nature.com
Many metal reducing bacteria are motile with their run-and-tumble behavior exhibiting series
of flights and waiting-time spanning multiple orders of magnitude. While several models of …
