Microbes in flow.

Microbes in flow. Curr Opin Microbiol. 2015 Mar 23;25:1-8 Authors: Rusconi R, Stocker R Abstract Microbes often live in moving fluids. Despite the multitude of implications that flow has on microbial ecology and environmental microbiology, only recently have experimental tools and conceptual frameworks from fluid physics been applied systematically to further our knowledge of the behavior of microbes in flow. This nascent research field, which truly straddles biology and physics, has already produced important contributions to our understanding of the physical interaction between microbes and flow, both in bulk fluid and close to surfaces, at the same time revealing the richness and complexity of the resulting dynamics.
