Optimal motility strategies for self-propelled agents to explore porous media

C Lohrmann, C Holm - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
Microrobots for, eg, biomedical applications, need to be equipped with motility strategies that
enable them to navigate through complex environments. Inspired by biological …

Influence of bacterial swimming and hydrodynamics on attachment of phages

C Lohrmann, C Holm, SS Datta - Soft Matter, 2024 - pubs.rsc.org
Bacteriophages (“phages”) are viruses that infect bacteria. Since they do not actively self-
propel, phages rely on thermal diffusion to find target cells—but can also be advected by …

A novel model for biofilm initiation in porous media flow

C Lohrmann, C Holm - Soft Matter, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
Bacteria often form biofilms in porous environments where an external flow is present, such
as soil or filtration systems. To understand the initial stages of biofilm formation, one needs …

Influence of bacterial swimming and hydrodynamics on infection by phages

C Lohrmann, C Holm, SS Datta - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Bacteriophages (" phages") are viruses that infect bacteria. Since they do not actively self-
propel, phages rely on thermal diffusion to find target cells---but can also be advected by …

[PDF][PDF] Motile bacteria in complex environments

C Lohrmann - 2024 - elib.uni-stuttgart.de
In their natural habitats, bacteria are subject to interactions with complex environments.
Complexity can arise from, eg, confinement in porous media, nontrivial external flow …
