Collective Behavior of Quorum-Sensing Run-and-Tumble Particles under Confinement.
We study a generic model for quorum-sensing bacteria in circular confinement. Every bacterium produces signaling molecules, the local concentration of which triggers a response when a certain threshold is reached. If this response lowers the motility, then an aggregation of bacteria occurs which differs fundamentally from standard motility-induced phase separation due to the long-ranged nature ...
متن کاملRun-and-tumble particles in speckle fields.
The random energy landscapes developed by speckle fields can be used to confine and manipulate a large number of micro-particles with a single laser beam. By means of molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the static and dynamic properties of an active suspension of swimming bacteria embedded into speckle patterns. Looking at the correlation of the density fluctuations and the equilibri...
متن کاملOn the distribution and swim pressure of run-and-tumble particles in confinement
The spatial and orientational distribution in a dilute active suspension of non-Brownian run-and-tumble spherical swimmers confined between two planar hard walls is calculated theoretically. Using a kinetic model based on coupled bulk/surface probability density functions, we demonstrate the existence of a concentration wall boundary layer with thickness scaling with the run length, the absence...
متن کاملEmergence of collective behavior in groups of excitable catalyst-loaded particles: spatiotemporal dynamical quorum sensing.
Spontaneous spatiotemporal wave activity occurs in groups of excitable particles for groups larger than a critical size. Experiments are carried out with particles loaded with the catalyst of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction that are immersed in catalyst-free reaction mixture. The particles diffusively exchange activator and inhibitor species with the surrounding solution. All particles are no...
متن کاملFirst-passage time of run-and-tumble particles.
We solve the problem of first-passage time for run-and-tumble particles in one dimension. Exact expression is derived for the mean first-passage time in the general case, considering external force fields and chemotactic fields, giving rise to space-dependent swim speed and tumble rate. Agreement between theoretical formulae and numerical simulations is obtained in the analyzed case studies --c...
