Inspired by an article on flow generated in a micro-capillary tube by a bacterial "pump" [http://microfluids.engin.brown.edu/Breuer_Papers/Journals/Small2008_Bacterial_Pump.pdf] | Inspired by an article on flow generated in a micro-capillary tube by a bacterial "pump" [http://microfluids.engin.brown.edu/Breuer_Papers/Journals/Small2008_Bacterial_Pump.pdf] | ||
- | we have decided to attempt construction of a similar system. Our approach centers on E. coli that will be modified to hyper-express flagella, in an attempt to increase force generation. These bacteria will be attached to a surface, and their flagella should therefor generate flow in the surrounding liquid. | + | we have decided to attempt construction of a similar system.
