Researchers from the University of Hong Kong and the UK demonstrate how self-propelling microbes adjust their swimming paths based on light levels. A team led by Zhao Wang at the University of Hong Kong reveals that these microbes alter flagella beating patterns to maximize light intake for photosynthesis. The study appears in ical Review Letters.Microbial Propulsion TechniquesMicrobes navigate by rhythmically beating flagella, hair-like structures. Strategies vary: some bacteria alternate straight runs with sudden tumbles, while others curve paths in response to chemical signals. Many switch modes according to environmental cues, but the underlying bioical triggers remained unclear.Tracking Individual Algae CellsEarlier…
