6. 8 cells/ml, φ =0.01). Cells were incubated at room temperature in the motility buffer for 30 min before the start of experiments. Measurements were carried out at room temperature using a 6 μm trapped bead to track the bacterial dynamics. Sample cell volume was confined to 120 μ1 in a circular well of depth 1.5 mm made of neoprene O-rings between two cover slips.
