De Novo Formation of Left–Right Asymmetry by Posterior Tilt of Nodal Cilia (2005)

Shigenori Nonaka, Satoko Yoshiba, Daisuke Watanabe, Shingo Ikeuchi, Tomonobu Goto, Wallace F. Marshall, ...

Left-right asymmetry in the developing mouse embryo is established by leftward fluid flow. Here the authors demonstrate how a posterior tilt of beating cilia creates this unidirectional fluid flow.

In the developing mouse embryo, leftward fluid flow on the ventral side of the node determines left–right (L-R) asymmetry. However, the mechanism by which the rotational movement of node cilia can...

Nutrient Uptake by a Self-Propelled Steady Squirmer (2003)

Magar, Vanesa, Goto, Tomonobu, Pedley, T. J.

In this paper we study nutrient uptake by a very simple model of a swimming microorganism, a sphere moving its surface tangentially to itself with constant concentration on the surface. The effect of...

Difference in Bacterial Motion between Forward and Backward Swimming Caused by the Wall Effect

Magariyama, Yukio, Ichiba, Makoto, Nakata, Kousou, Baba, Kensaku, Ohtani, Toshio, Kudo, Seishi, ...

A bacterial cell that has a single polar flagellum alternately repeats forward swimming, in which the flagellum pushes the cell body, and backward swimming, in which the flagellum pulls the cell...

A Fluid-Dynamic Interpretation of the Asymmetric Motion of Singly Flagellated Bacteria Swimming Close to a Boundary

Goto, Tomonobu, Nakata, Kousou, Baba, Kensaku, Nishimura, Masaharu, Magariyama, Yukio

The singly flagellated bacterium, Vibrio alginolyticus, moves forward and backward by alternating the rotational direction of its flagellum. The bacterium has been observed retracing a previous path...
