Active colloidal chains with cilia- and flagella-like motion

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2018
It has been shown that self-assembled chains of active colloidal particles can present sustained oscillations. These oscillations are possible because the effective diffusiophoretic forces that mediate the interactions of colloids do not respect the ...

Clostridioides difficile Flagella

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences
Clostridioides difficile is an important pathogen for humans with a lead in nosocomial infection, but it is also more and more common in communities. Our knowledge of the pathology has historically been focused on the toxins produced by the bacteria that remain its major virulence factors.

Bundling instability of lophotrichous bacteria [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
We present a mathematical model of lophotrichous bacteria, motivated by Pseudomonas putida, which swim through fluid by rotating a cluster of multiple flagella extended from near one pole of the cell body. Although the flagella rotate individually, they are typically bundled together, enabling the bacterium to exhibit three primary modes of motility ...

The role of hydrodynamics in the synchronisation of {\it Chlamydomonas} flagella [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
While hydrodynamic coupling has long been considered essential for synchronisation of eukaryotic flagella, recent experiments on the unicellular biflagellate model organism {\it Chlamydomonas} demonstrate that -- at the single cell level -- intracellular mechanical coupling is necessary for coordination.
