Rotational tumbling of Escherichia coli aggregates under shear.
Growing living cultures of Escherichia coli bacteria are investigated using real-time in situ rheology and rheoimaging measurements. In the early stages of growth (lag phase) and when subjected to a constant stationary shear, the viscosity slowly increases with the cell's population. As the bacteria reach the exponential phase of growth, the viscosity increases rapidly, with sudden and temporar...
متن کاملFailed escape: solid surfaces prevent tumbling of Escherichia coli.
Understanding how bacteria move close to surfaces is crucial for a broad range of microbial processes including biofilm formation, bacterial dispersion, and pathogenic infections. We used digital holographic microscopy to capture a large number (>10(3)) of three-dimensional Escherichia coli trajectories near and far from a surface. We found that within 20 μm from a surface tumbles are suppress...
متن کاملSwimming efficiency of bacterium Escherichia coli.
We use measurements of swimming bacteria in an optical trap to determine fundamental properties of bacterial propulsion. In particular, we directly measure the force required to hold the bacterium in the optical trap and determine the propulsion matrix, which relates the translational and angular velocity of the flagellum to the torques and forces propelling the bacterium. From the propulsion m...
متن کاملInvestigation of Microbial Contamination (Escherichia coli) in the Major Swimming Areas of Bandar Abbas
This study was conducted to determine the original indicator of microbial pollution (Escherichia coli) in the major swimming areas of Bandar Abbas. Three major swimming areas were selected in Bandar Abbas that included Soroo, Khaje Ata and Ghadir Park. During the present study, 30 sea water samples were gathered to evaluate the important indicator of microbial contamination and parameters such...
متن کاملSwimming patterns and dynamics of simulated Escherichia coli bacteria.
A spatially and temporally realistic simulation of Escherichia coli chemotaxis was used to investigate the swimming patterns of wild-type and mutant bacteria within a rectangular arena in response to chemoattractant gradients. Swimming dynamics were analysed during long time series with phase-space trajectories, power spectra and estimations of fractal dimensions (FDs). Cell movement displayed ...
