Quorum sensing and swarming migration in bacteria.
Bacterial cells can produce and sense signal molecules, allowing the whole population to initiate a concerted action once a critical concentration (corresponding to a particular population density) of the signal has been reached, a phenomenon known as quorum sensing. One of the possible quorum sensing-regulated phenotypes is swarming, a flagella-driven movement of differentiated swarmer cells (...
متن کاملSurface drag
I will deiscuss the drag of particles on granular surfaces by a fluid. I will present simulations using FLUENT of Aeolian saltation under Earth and Mars conditions obtaining among others the static and dynamic threshold shear and the height of the saltation layer as function of the wind strength. A universal quadratic increase of the saturated flux as function of the difference from the thresho...
متن کاملSwarming bacteria migrate by Lévy Walk
Individual swimming bacteria are known to bias their random trajectories in search of food and to optimize survival. The motion of bacteria within a swarm, wherein they migrate as a collective group over a solid surface, is fundamentally different as typical bacterial swarms show large-scale swirling and streaming motions involving millions to billions of cells. Here by tracking trajectories of...
متن کاملDrag-And-Drop Surface Composition
A novel approach to drag-and-drop composition of point-sampled surfaces is described which allows a complex surface feature to be interactively selected and dragged to a new target region. We automatically fill the hole left behind and deform the feature such that it conforms to the target surface. Both of these operations are implemented using a new geometric deformation technique which preser...
متن کاملCell density and mobility protect swarming bacteria against antibiotics.
Swarming bacteria move in multicellular groups and exhibit adaptive resistance to multiple antibiotics. Analysis of this phenomenon has revealed the protective power of high cell densities to withstand exposure to otherwise lethal antibiotic concentrations. We find that high densities promote bacterial survival, even in a nonswarming state, but that the ability to move, as well as the speed of ...
