Effect of Surface Chemistry and Young's Modulus on the Surface Motility of the Bacterium Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

Effect of Surface Chemistry and Young's Modulus on the Surface Motility of the Bacterium Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

This study demonstrates that the surface motility of the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is dependent on the surface chemistry of the underlying substrate. In particular, cells on hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) have a speed that is on average 38% greater than on hydrophilic PDMS. These res...
