Turn angle and run time distributions characterize swimming behavior for Pseudomonas putida

KJ Duffy and RM Ford
Department of Chemical Engineering and Biophysics Program, University of Virginia, Charlottesville 22903-2442, USA.

The swimming behavior of Pseudomonas putida was analyzed with a tracking microscope to quantify its run time and turn angle distributions. Monte Carlo computer simulations illustrated that the bimodal turn angle distribution of P. putida reduced collisions with obstacles in porous media in comparison to the unimodal distribution of Escherichia coli.
