Self-transport of swimming bacteria is impaired by porous microstructure

Bacteria often reside within complex microenvironments through which they have to navigate efficiently. This paper presents an experimental study of bacterial motility and dispersion within ordered and disordered arrays of obstacles as a proxy to a realistic porous medium and established a bacterial...
