[PDF][PDF] Collective swimming and the dynamics of bacterial turbulence
CW Wolgemuth - Biophysical journal, 2008 - cell.com
To swim, a bacterium pushes against the fluid within which it is immersed, generating fluid
flow that dies off on a length scale comparable to the size of the bacterium. However, in dense …

Bacterial swimming and oxygen transport near contact lines
…, C Dombrowski, CW Wolgemuth… - Proceedings of the …, 2005 - National Acad Sciences
Aerobic bacteria often live in thin fluid layers near solid–air–water contact lines, in which the
biology of chemotaxis, metabolism, and cell–cell signaling is intimately connected to the …

Flagellar motility of the pathogenic spirochetes
CW Wolgemuth - Seminars in cell & developmental biology, 2015 - Elsevier
Bacterial pathogens are often classified by their toxicity and invasiveness. The invasiveness
of a given bacterium is determined by how capable the bacterium is at invading a broad …

Z-ring force and cell shape during division in rod-like bacteria
The life cycle of bacterial cells consists of repeated elongation, septum formation, and division.
Before septum formation, a division ring called the Z-ring, which is made of a filamentous …
