In this study, we use microfluidic chip to generate a steady, shear-free chemical gradient and to track bacteria trajectories. We aim to understand the role of surfaces in the migration of bacteria towards the favorable environment.
My study shows the role of swimming pattern on chemotactic response. To do this, I used various strains of bacteria (Escherichia coli,Sinorhizobia meliloti, Burkholderia contaminans, and Caballeronia insecticola) which exhibit "run and tumble", “run-desynchronize” or "run-reverse" swimming patterns.
