## Abstract The details of the chemotactic response of Salmonella typhimurium to gradients of Lβserine have been examined in some detail. Two relatively macroscopic techniques have been employed to measure the bacterial response. These include measurements of the average velocity as the bacterial p
A new method was developed which enables chemotaxis parameters t o be measured at a single-cell level inside a capillary for the first time. The chemotaxis chamber consists oftwo reservoirscommunicating through a capillary tube 50 p m in diameter. Chemotaxis parameters are measured inside the capill
## Abstract Swimming bacteria sense and respond to chemical signals in their environment. Chemotaxis is the directed migration of a bacterial population toward increasing concentrations of a chemical that they perceive to be beneficial to their survival. Bacteria that are indigenous to groundwater
In this paper, we introduce a mathematical and computational model at the microscale level of bacterial motility and chemotaxis coupled with the advection and diffusion of a biologically reacting substrate. The hydrodynamic interaction of a small bacterial population is explicitly modelled through t
