| 报告介绍 | Abstract:
Bacteria living in confined geometries are commonly found in clinical and natural environments. We are particularly interested in the behavior of bacteria confined in thin liquid films, because thin-film environment is relevant to biofilm formation, swarming, and bacterial colonization in interstitial space between tissues. In thin-film environment, the interactions between cells and fluid boundaries give rise to unexpected patterns of cellular motion and fluid motion, such as circulating flows around single cells, osmotic spreading of colonies, and macroscopic collective motion. Here we will introduce these motion patterns and discuss the implications for general self-propelled particle systems. |
