High-resolution, long-term characterization of bacterial motility using optical tweezers

We present a single-cell motility assay, which allows the quantification of bacterial swimming in a well-controlled environment, for durations of up to an hour and with a temporal resolution higher than the flagellar rotation rates of ~100 Hz. The assay is based on an instrument combining optical tw...
