E. coli Bacteria near "Black Hole"

ORAL

Abstract

In microfluidic environment, we create hydrodynamic horizon from which no E. coli bacteria can escape ("black hole") to study the collective behaviors of those organisms under the influence of such background, probing for their strategy to avoid potentially harmful region where part of the population disappears.
