Code for "Native propulsion architecture enables bundle-preserving run-reverse-turn motility in the human pathobiont Selenomonas sputigena"

Le résumé fourni par la source

This repository contains the MATLAB simulation code accompanying the paper: "Native propulsion architecture enables bundle-preserving run-reverse-turn motility in the human pathobiont Selenomonas sputigena" by Zhi Ren*, Albane Théry*, Yee-Wai Cheung, Nigel Steager, Zixuan Wen, Michelle Crispin, Julia Radzio, Edward Steager, Li Shen, Yi-Wei Chang, Paulo E. Arratia, Kathleen J Stebe and Hyun Koo. The code simulates the swimming of a flagellated bacterium by coupling an elastic flagellum model (Kirchhoff rod theory) with a rigid cell body and low-Reynolds-number hydrodynamics (regularised Stokeslets and rotlets). It was used to investigate how cell body shape, flagellum implantation site, and motor torque together determine the run-reverse-turn motility characteristic of S. sputigena.
