Speed, Trajectory and Increment in the Number of Cells of Singly Flagellated Bacteria Swimming Close to Boundaries
The influence of a rigid boundary and a free boundary on the motion of singly flagellated bacteria is experimentally investigated. The speed of backward swimming cells is faster near the rigid or free boundary than in the free space without boundary. It is also found that backward swimming speed is...
