- Descrição
- A simple mechanical model for a magnetotactic bacterium is developed. The flagellar torque is explicitly considered and the motion equation is computationally solved. Comparison between theoretical and experimental trajectory shows that the model describes with good accuracy the movement of a magnetotactic bacterium. With this model it is obtained the total flagellar force. The transversal component of the flagellar force is about eight times the longitudinal one for the case treated in this work showing the importance in consider torque effects when is studied motion of bacteria.
