Abstract

We measured for the first time the U-turn trajectory of individual magneto-tactic bacteria (MTB) under reversal of the magnetic field, as a function of the field strength. The measurement was performed using shallow 5 micrometer deep microfluidic channels and a setup which allowed for magnetic fields with rapid alternating directions at varying magnitudes up to 60 mT.
