A combined rheometry and imaging study of viscosity reduction in bacterial suspensions

Suspending self-propelled “pushers” in a liquid lowers its viscosity. We study how this phenomenon depends on system size in bacterial suspensions using bulk rheometry and particle-tracking rheoimaging. Above the critical bacterial volume fraction needed to decrease the viscosity to zero, [Formula:...
