Run-and-tumble-like motion of active colloids in viscoelastic media
Run-and-tumblemotion is a prominent locomotion strategy employed bymany livingmicroorganisms. It is characterized by straight swimming intervals (runs), which are interrupted by sudden reorientation events (tumbles). In contrast, directional changes of syntheticmicroswimmers (active particles) are caused by rotational diffusion, which is superimposedwith their translationalmotion and thus leads...
متن کاملDriven motion of colloids in active microrheology
In active microrheology, a strong external force is applied to a colloidal probe immersed in a complex fluid, so that among other quantities the nonlinear force-velocity relation can be measured. It provides information on the local viscoelastic properties of the complex fluid or soft solid. Generally, in dense fluids, the probe’s friction coefficient decreases strongly with increasing force [1...
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 کاملA path-integral formulation of the run and tumble motion and chemotaxis in Escherichia coli
Bacteria such as Escherichia coli move about in a series of runs and tumbles: while a run state (straight motion) entails all the flagellar motors spinning in counterclockwise mode, a tumble is caused by a shift in the state of one or more motors to clockwise spinning mode. In the presence of an attractant gradient in the environment, runs in the favourable direction are extended, and this resu...
متن کاملFeedback between motion and sensation provides nonlinear boost in run-and-tumble navigation
Many organisms navigate gradients by alternating straight motions (runs) with random reorientations (tumbles), transiently suppressing tumbles whenever attractant signal increases. This induces a functional coupling between movement and sensation, since tumbling probability is controlled by the internal state of the organism which, in turn, depends on previous signal levels. Although a negative...
