Rotational Speed Control of Single Bacterial Flagellar Motor

  • Chapter

Abstract

Some researchers proposed the methods to fabricate the bacteria-driven microobjects using various flagellated bacteria. Darnton et al. achieved a random delivery of the bacteria-driven microobject using Serratia marcescens [1]. Behkam et al. improved the directivity of the delivery of the bacteria-driven microobject using S. marcescens by limiting the attaching area of the bacteria [2].
