| 10:00 - 11:00 Weekly Seminar Biofilm Development Modeling approaches for understanding the mechanisms involved School BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES It is well-established experimentally and well-studied computationally that bacteria tend toward moist surfaces in their habitats. In the language of ?uid mechanics, in a con?ned environment, this exemplar type of self-propelled particles move toward and accumulate on con?ning boundaries. The ?rst part of this talk will be about the ?urry of interest focused toward the so called “near-wall behavior” of micro swimmers generally, and motile bacteria speci?cally. Results of research on the peculiar behavior of bacteria near walls, be they those of narrow channels within micro?uidic lab-on-a-chip, or the ‘naturally-occurring’ walls of physiol ... |
