Flow-induced bending of flagella controls bacterial surface behavior

2025-01-08

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria engage in surface-specific behaviors that are assumed to be driven by biological signaling. However, surface behaviors could be controlled by mechanical reorientation of bacterial appendages. Here, we use microfluidics and flagellar labeling to discover how shear force bends flagella to control surface behavior of the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa . By imaging flagellar rotation and using mutants...
