Flagella bending affects macroscopic properties of bacterial suspensions

open access: yes, 2016
To survive in harsh conditions, motile bacteria swim in complex environment and respond to the surrounding flow. Here we develop a PDE model describing how the flagella bending affects macroscopic properties of bacterial suspensions.

Hydrodynamic synchronization of flagellar oscillators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We survey the theory synchronization in collections of noisy oscillators. This framework is applied to flagellar synchronization by hydrodynamic interactions.

Bacterial swarmer cells in confinement: A mesoscale hydrodynamic simulation study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A wide spectrum of Peritrichous bacteria undergo considerable physiological changes when they are inoculated onto nutrition-rich surfaces and exhibit a rapid and collective migration denoted as swarming.

Binding of Campylobacter jejuni FliW Adjacent to the CsrA RNA-Binding Pockets Modulates CsrA Regulatory Activity

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Campylobacter jejuni CsrA is an mRNA-binding, post-transcriptional regulator that controls many metabolic- and virulence-related characteristics of this important pathogen. In contrast to E.

Zipping and Entanglement in Flagellar Bundle of E. Coli: Role of Motile Cell Body

open access: yes, 2015
The course of a peritrichous bacterium such as E. coli crucially depends on the level of synchronization and self-organization of several rotating flagella. However, the rotation of each flagellum generates counter body movements which in turn affect the

Calcium-induced asymmetrical beating of triton-demembranated sea urchin sperm flagella [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
Asymmetrical bending waves can be obtained by reactivating demembranated sea urchin spermatozoa at high Ca2+ concentrations. Moving-film flash photography shows that asymmetrical flagellar bending waves are associated with premature termination of the ...

A PAS Domain-Containing Regulator Controls Flagella-Flagella Interactions in Campylobacter jejuni

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The bipolar flagella of the foodborne bacterial pathogen Campylobacter jejuni confermotility, which is essential for virulence. The flagella of C. jejuni are posttranslationallymodified, but how this process is controlled is not well understood.

Destination and Specific Impact of Different Bile Acids in the Intestinal Pathogen Clostridioides difficile

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The anaerobic bacterium Clostridioides difficile represents one of the most problematic pathogens, especially in hospitals. Dysbiosis has been proven to largely reduce colonization resistance against this intestinal pathogen. The beneficial effect of the

Effects of antibodies against dynein and tubulin on the stiffness of flagellar axonemes [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
Antidynein antibodies, previously shown to inhibit flagellar oscillation and active sliding of axonemal microtubules, increase the bending resistance of axonemes measured under relaxing conditions, but not the bending resistance of axonemes measured ...

Beating patterns of filaments in viscoelastic fluids

open access: yes, 2008
Many swimming microorganisms, such as bacteria and sperm, use flexible flagella to move through viscoelastic media in their natural environments. In this paper we address the effects a viscoelastic fluid has on the motion and beating patterns of elastic ...
