The Transport Behavior of a Biflagellated Microswimmer before and after Cargo Loading

Abstract: The changes in the transport behavior of a microswimmer before and after cargo loading are crucial to understanding and control of the motion of a biohybrid microbot. In this work, we show the change in swimming behavior of biflagellated microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii picking up a 4.5 μm polystyrene microbead upon collision. The microswimmer changed from linear forward motion into helical motion upon the attachment of the cargo and swam with a decreased swimming velocity. We revealed the helical motion o… Show more

“…The kinematic results recorded under bright field imaging of an optical microscope (connected to cellSens Imaging Software) were then processed accordingly using ImageJ. During the processing stage of the raw kinematic motion results, the v$v$ evaluated at each time frame was further decomposed into vfalse∥${v_\parallel }$, the v$v$ of IONPs‐PS parallel to the main reference axis of direction of boldB$\nabla {\bf{B}}$ where the IONPs‐PS experiences boldFmag,IONPsPS${{\bf{F}}_{mag,\;IONPs - PS}}$ (see Figure 2C), and v${v_ \bot }$, the v$v$ perpendicular to it [28]. The vfalse∥${v_\parallel }$ is the combination of magnetophoresis and viscous drag, whereas v${v_ \bot }$ is mainly dominated by Brownian diffusion.…”
