A Pili-Driven Bacterial Turbine
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 Work generated by self-propelled bacteria can be harnessed with the help of microdevices. Such nanofabricated microdevices, immersed in a bacterial bath, may exhibit unidirectional rotational or translational motion.

More than propellers: how flagella shape bacterial motility behaviors.
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2021 Bacteria use a wide variety of flagellar architectures to navigate their environment. While the iconic run-tumble motility strategy of the peritrichously flagellated Escherichia coli has been well studied, recent work has revealed a variety of new ...

Characterization of C-ring component assembly in flagellar motors from amino acid coevolution [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Bacterial flagellar motility, an important virulence factor, is energized by a rotary motor localized within the flagellar basal body. The rotor module consists of a large framework (the C-ring), composed of the FliG, FliM and FliN proteins.

Bacterial tracking of motile algae [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2003 Abstract We investigated whether bacterial motility and chemotaxis in the ocean enables bacteria to approach and follow microscopic, moving, point sources of nutrients. The turbulent nature of the ocean combined with the imprecision of run and tumble chemotaxis has led to the assumption that marine bacteria cannot cluster around microscopic point ...

The interaction of thin-film flow, bacterial swarming and cell differentiation in colonies of Serratia liquefaciens [PDF]
, 2000 The rate of expansion of bacterial colonies of S. liquefaciens is investigated in terms of a mathematical model that combines biological as well as hydrodynamic processes. The relative importance of cell differentiation and production of an extracellular

An experimental and computational study of the effect of ActA polarity on the speed of Listeria monocytogenes actin-based motility. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2009 Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogenic bacterium that moves within infected cells and spreads directly between cells by harnessing the cell's dendritic actin machinery. This motility is dependent on expression of a single bacterial surface protein, ActA,

Effect of Viscosity on Bacterial Motility [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1974 The behavior of a number of motile flagellated bacteria toward viscosity characteristics of their fluid environments was observed. All showed an increase in velocity (micrometers per second) in more viscous solutions. Velocity reached a maximum at a characteristic value, however, and thereafter decreased with higher viscosities ...
