Galvanotaxis: electric field as stimulus. ie. Paramecium caudatum Phototaxis: light as stimulus. ie. Euglena gracilis Magnetotaxis: magnetic field as stimulus. ie. Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum Chemotaxis: chemicals as stimulus. ie. Escherichia coli Selecting the Test Sample
Future Work • Repeatability • Micro-manipulation • Actuation system • Other test samples
