Measurements of the swimming speeds of motile microorganisms using object tracking and their correlation with water pollution and rheology levels

Abstract Self-propelled microscopic organisms are ubiquitous in water. Such organisms’ motility depends on hydrodynamic and physical factors related to the rheology of the surrounding media and biological factors depending on the organisms’ state and well-being. Here we demonstrate that the swimming...
