Near-wall rheotaxis of the ciliate Tetrahymena induced by the kinesthetic sensing of cilia

To survive in harsh environments, single-celled microorganisms autonomously respond to external stimuli, such as light, heat, and flow. Here, we elucidate the flow response of Tetrahymena, a well-known single-celled freshwater microorganism. Tetrahymena moves upstream against an external flow via a...
