The accumulation of motile cells at solid interfaces increases the rate of surface encounters and the likelihood of surface attachment, leading to surface colonization and biofilm formation. The cell density distribution in the vicinity of a physical boundary is influenced by ...

The rheology of suspensions of high-inertia (or granular) non-spherical particles characterized by high particle Stokes and Reynolds numbers is rarely investigated. In this study, we investigate the rheology of suspensions of inertial rod-like particles of aspect ratio 4 subje ...

An experimental study on the motility of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in viscoelastic fluids

Flagellar locomotion is one of the first forms of locomotion on our planet. Microorganisms use their flagella to reorientate or generate movement in search for nutrients or gradients in light intensity. These microscopic swimmers are able to adapt their swimming gait to the circu ...
