Physics of microorganism behaviour: motility, synchronisation, run-and-tumble, phototaxis.

<p>Microorganisms have evolved in a low Reynolds number environment and have adapted their behaviour to its viscosity. Here, we consider some features of behaviour observed in microorganisms and use hydrodynamic models to show that these behaviours emerge from physical interactions, including...
