  3. Going Micro & Nano: Miniaturization Theory Why do we need it? - Reduced fabrication cost - Reduced sample consumption - High sample throughput - Superior performance (speed / efficiency) - MEMS and NEMS compatible What are the applications? - Molecular separations - Chemical and biological synthesis - Medical and clinical diagnostics - Environmental monitoring - DNA sequence analysis - Process control Why not use “nature”? - Challenge to micron-nano scale actuation - Intergration Engineering with Biology Self-powered Bacterial Pump

  4. Flagellated Bacteria (E.coli & Serratia marcescens) A cell of E. coli, fluorescently labeled.(Turner, Ryu, and Berg 2000) http://www.npn.jst.go.jp/ Namba 1m • Flagellated Bacteria: • - Cell body & Flagella • - Rod-shaped cell body : 2 m long, 1 m diameter • - Flagella : rotary motor, hook, and filament 10 m 2 m

  5. 25 nm E.coli Rotary Motor, Hook, and Filament • Filament – typically about 10 m and 20 nm in diameter. Helical shape in the unstressed state. • Hook – about 50 nm long and 20 nm in diameter. Plays the universal joint. • Motor – proton (H+) is the energy source. The typical rotation speed is about 100 Hz. The motor can rotate either direction. Schematic diagram (Berg, 2003), electron micro-scopy image of the flagella motor (De Rosier, 1998), and http://www.npn.jst.go.jp/Namba

  6. E.coli in Motion • E. coli swim by rotating helical filaments. • Filaments form a bundle and disperse the bundle. • Tumbles and runs change the swimming directions. Sequence of E. coli flagella bundling (Turner, Ryu, and Berg, 2000)

  7. Macro-scale Model of Bacterial Flagellar Bundling Setup Two stepper motors. Epoxy-filled plastic tubes in helical shape. High viscosity silicone oil (100,000 cp).
