Advection, Dissipation & Diffusion: Reynolds and Peclet Numbers Navier-Stokes equations: Passive scalar dynamics: Reynolds number: Peclet number: If U=10 mm/s, L=10 mm, Re ~ 10-4, Pe ~ 10-1 At the scale of an individual bacterium, dissipation dominates inertia, and diffusion dominates. With multicellularity, Pe > or >> 1.

Experimental Details Bacterial protocols using B. subtilis strain 1085 (and various mutants) Simple: Overnight growth in Terrific Broth in a still petri dish More controlled: Start with -20o C stock, prepared from spores stored on sand. [Add to TB at RT, 24h of growth, 1 ml + 50 ml TB, incubated for 18 h. Then 1 ml + 50 ml TB, incubated for 5 hrs. 0.75 ml + 0.25 ml glycerol]. 1 ml of -20o stock + 50 ml TB, incubate for 18 h (shaker bath, 37o, 100 rpm), then 1 ml + 50 ml TB (5 hr), then into chamber Fluorescent microspheres (Molecular Probes, Nile Red, 0.1-2.0 mm)

Summary: Peclet Number Revisited In the Zooming Bionematic (ZBN) phase, there are large coherent regions of high-speed swimming, whose internal fluid velocities and scale generate an effective diffusion constant DZBN =L2/T~10-4 cm2/s which is an order of magnitude larger than the molecular oxygen diffusion constant. Alternatively, the (chaotic) Peclet number is >> 1. In the ZBN, the bacterial concentration is so high that dissolved oxygen is used up in the time T~1 s, matching the time scale of the coherent structures.

Flocking models (Toner and Tu, 1995, …; traffic flow…) Historical Ideas A Landau theory in the velocity field – clever but not relevant to the physics of Stokes flow • Sedimentation (interacting Stokeslets) as few as three particles exhibit chaotic trajectories (Janosi, et al., 1997) • Conventional chemotaxis picture (e.g. Keller-Segel) - MISSES ADVECTION Velocity field must be determined self-consistently with density field • A synthesis is emerging from coarse-grained models of sedimentation • (Bruinsma, et al.) and self-propelled objects (Ramaswamy, et al. 2002, 2004)… IMPLICATIONS FOR QUORUM SENSING…
