Swimming motion of rod-shaped magnetotactic bacteria: the effects of shape and growing magnetic moment
We investigatethe swimming motion of rod-shaped magnetotactic bacteriaaffiliated with the {it Nitrospirae } phylum in a viscous liquidunder the influence of an externally imposed, time-dependent magnetic field.By assuming that fluid motion driven bythe translation and rotation of a swimming bacter...
