Chemotactic Behavior of Bacteria Propelled Microbeads in Linear Microfluidic Gradients
Flagellated bacteria have been embraced by the micro-robotics community as a highly efficient microscale actuation method, capable of converting chemical energy into mechanical actuation for microsystems that require a low payload and high rate of actuation. Along with being highly motile, Serratia marcescens (S. marcescens), our bacterium species of interest, is a highly agile biomotor capable...
متن کاملScaling behavior of optimally structured catalytic microfluidic reactors.
In this study of catalytic microfluidic reactors we show that, when optimally structured, these reactors share underlying scaling properties. The scaling is predicted theoretically and verified numerically. Furthermore, we show how to increase the reaction rate significantly by distributing the active porous material within the reactor using a high-level implementation of topology optimization.
متن کاملcomparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.
heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...
15 صفحه اولNanoconfined catalytic Ångström-size motors.
Self-propelled chemically powered synthetic micron and nano-scale motors are being intensively studied because of the wide range of potential applications that exploit their directed motion. This paper considers even smaller Ångström-size synthetic motors. Such very small motors in bulk solution display effects arising from their self-propulsion. Recent experiments have shown that small-molecul...
متن کاملChemotactic Behavior of Azotobacter vinelandii.
Chemotaxis was exhibited by Azotobacter vinelandii motile cells. Exposure of cells to sudden increases in attractant concentration suppressed the frequency of tumbling and resulted in smooth swimming. Cells responded chemotactically to a chemical gradient produced during metabolism. Motility occurred over a temperature range of 25 to 37 degrees C with an optimum pH range of between pH 7.0 and 8...
