Abstract in brief
- Bacterial flagella are flexible and can be deformed by external shear flows, which affects their swimming paths, leading to complex trajectories.
- The study shows that in different shear flows, bacteria exhibit various behaviors: they move periodically in planar shear flow and tend to migrate towards the center or a limit cycle in Poiseuille flow, with even slight random reorientations causing non-periodic paths.
- These results highlight the important role of flagellar flexibility in bacterial navigation and how external flow conditions influence their movement in natural environments.]
