A 3D motile rod-shaped monotrichous bacterial model.
We introduce a 3D model for a motile rod-shaped bacterial cell with a single polar flagellum which is based on the configuration of a monotrichous type of bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The structure of the model bacterial cell consists of a cylindrical body together with the flagellar forces produced by the rotation of a helical flagellum. The rod-shaped cell body is composed of a se...
متن کاملThe anaerobic monotrichous butyric acid-producing curved rod-shaped bacteria of the rumen.
During studies of bacteria isolated from rumen contents, several workers have encountered anaerobic, gram negative, butyric acid-producing curved rods (Hungate, 1950; Huhtanen and Gall, 1952; and Wilson, 1953). Bryant and Burkey (1953a) published brief descriptions of three groups of anaerobic, motile, curved rods. Further studies have shown that four fundamentally different kinds of bacteria w...

متن کاملContrasting mechanisms of growth in two model rod-shaped bacteria
How cells control their shape and size is a long-standing question in cell biology. Many rod-shaped bacteria elongate their sidewalls by the action of cell wall synthesizing machineries that are associated to actin-like MreB cortical patches. However, little is known about how elongation is regulated to enable varied growth rates and sizes. Here we use total internal reflection fluorescence mic...
متن کاملSpecies-dependent hydrodynamics of flagellum-tethered bacteria in early biofilm development.
Monotrichous bacteria on surfaces exhibit complex spinning movements. Such spinning motility is often a part of the surface detachment launch sequence of these cells. To understand the impact of spinning motility on bacterial surface interactions, we develop a hydrodynamic model of a surface-bound bacterium, which reproduces behaviours that we observe in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shewanella oneid...
