Flagellar elasticity and the multiple swimming modes of interfacial bacteria
In peritrichous bacteria, such as E. coli, flagella join into a compact bundle that is usually assumed to be rigidly connected to the cell body allowing only counter-rotations around a common axis. This simple microswimmer model has been very successful in providing quantitative predictions on swimm...
