(a) (b) (c) (d) Figure 15. Bundling of bacterial flagella. During swimming, the bacterial flagella are gathered in a tight bundle behind the cell as it moves through the fluid ((a) and (d)). During a tumbling event, the flagella come out the bundle (b), resulting in a random reorientation of the cell before the next swimming event. At the conclusion of the tumbling event, hydrodynamic interactions lead to the relative attraction of the flagella (c), and their synchronization to form a perfect bundle (d).

1.3 Dilute microbial suspensions
A minimalist model for the locomotion of an isolated microorganism (e.g., alga or bac- terium) with position X(t) and orientation unit vector N(t) is given by the coupled system
dX = V Ndt + p 2DT ⇤ dB(t), (1.45a) dN = (1 d)DRN dt + p 2DR (I NN) ⇤ dW (t). (1.45b) To confirm that Eq. (1.45b) conserves the unit length of the orientation vector, |N|2 = 1 for all t, it is convenient to rewrite Eqs. (1.45) in component form: dXi = V Nidt + p 2DT ⇤ dBi(t), (1.46a) dNj = (1 d)DR Njdt + p 2DR (δjk NjNk) ⇤ dWk(t). (1.46b)
http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.0020044
For the constraint |N|2 = 1 to be satisfied, we must have d|N|2 = 0. Applying the d- dimensional version of Ito’s formula, see Eq. (A.12), to F(N) = |N|2, one finds indeed that d|N|2 = 2Nj ⇤ dNj +
= 2Nj ⇤ h (1 d)DR Nj dt + p 2DR (δjk NjNk) ⇤ dWk(t) i + ∂Ni(δjkNk + Nkδjk) DR(δij NiNj) dt = 2(1 d)DR dt + (δjkδik + δikδjk) DR(δij NiNj) dt = 0. (1.47)
p ⇤ dNj = (1 d)DR Njdt + p 2DR (δjk NjNk) ⇤ dWk(t).
To understand the dynamics (1.46), it is useful to compute the orientation correlation, hN(t) · N(0)i = E[N(t) · N(0)] = E[Nz(t)], (1.48) where we have assumed (w.l.o.g.) that N(0) = ez. Averaging Eq. (1.46b), we find that d dtE[Nz(t)] = (1 d)DR E[Nz(t)], (1.49) implying that, in this model, the memory loss about the orientation is exponential hN(t) · N(0)i = e(1−d)DRt, (1.50)
d|X|2 = 2Xj ⇤ dXj +
= 2Xj ⇤ dXj + (δjkδik + δikδjk) DTδij dt = 2Xj ⇤ dXj + 2d DT dt = 2Xj[V Njdt + p 2DT ⇤ dBj(t)] + 2d DT dt, (1.51) averaging and dividing by dt, gives d dtE[X2] = 2V E[X(t)N(t)] + 2d DT. (1.52) The expectation value on the rhs. can be evaluated by making use of Eq. (1.50): E[X(t) · N(t)] = E Z t dX(s) · N(t)
V E Z t ds N(s) · N(t)
V Z t ds hN(t) · N(s)i = V Z t ds e(1−d)DR(t−s) = V (d 1)DR ⇥ 1 e(1−d)DRt⇤ .
⇤ By inserting this expression into Eq. (1.52) and integrating over t, we find E[X2] = 2V 2 (d 1)2D2
R
⇥ (d 1)DRt + e(1−d)DRt 1 ⇤ + 2dDTt. (1.53) If DT is small, then at short times t ⌧ D−1
R the motion is ballistic
E[X2] ' V 2t2 + 2dDTt, (1.54) At large times, the motion becomes diffusive, with asymptotic diffusion constant lim
t→∞
E[X2] t = 2V 2 (d 1)DR + 2dDT. (1.55) Inserting typical values for bacteria, V ⇠ 10µm/s and DR ⇠ 0.1/s, and comparing with DT ⇠ 0.2µm2/s for a micron-sized colloids at room temperature, we see that active swim- ming and orientational diffusion dominate the diffusive dynamics of microorganisms at long times.

Concentration profile between two walls An interesting question that is relevant from a medical perspective concerns the spatial distribution of bacteria and other swimming microbes in the presence of confinement. Restricting ourselves to dilute suspensions10, we may obtain a simple prediction from the model (1.45) by considering the FPE for the associated PDF p(t, x, n). Given p and the total number of bacteria Nb in the solutions, we obtain the spatial concentration profile by integrating over all possible orientations c(t, x) = Nb Z
Sd
dn p(t, n, x). (1.56a) The associated mean orientation field reads u(t, x) = Nb Z
Sd
dn p(t, n, x) n. (1.56b) The FPE for the Ito-SDE (1.45) can be written as a conservation law ∂tp = (∂xiJi + ∂niΩi), (1.57a) where Ji = (V ni DT∂xi)p (1.57b) Ωi = DR
. (1.57c)
Z The FPE for the Ito-SDE (1.45) can be written as a conservation law ∂tp = (∂xiJi + ∂niΩi), (1.57a) where Ji = (V ni DT∂xi)p (1.57b) Ωi = DR
. (1.57c) Focusing on the three-dimensional case, d = 3, we are interested in deriving from Eq. (1.57) the stationary concentration profile c of a suspension that is confined by two quasi-infinite parallel walls, which are located z = ±H. That is, we assume that the distance between the walls is much smaller then their spatial extent in the (x, y)-directions, 2H ⌧ Lx, Ly. To obtain an evolution equation for c, we multiply Eq. (1.57a) by Nb and integrate over n with Z
Sd
dn ∂niΩi = 0. (1.58) This yields the mass conservation law ∂tc = r · (V u DTrc). (1.59)
Z The FPE for the Ito-SDE (1.45) can be written as a conservation law ∂tp = (∂xiJi + ∂niΩi), (1.57a) where Ji = (V ni DT∂xi)p (1.57b) Ωi = DR
. (1.57c) r ·
To obtain also an evolution equation for u, we multiply Eq. (1.57a) by nk, ∂t(nkp) = ∂xi(nkJi) nk∂niΩi. (1.60) and note that nk∂niΩi = ∂ni(nkΩi) (∂nink)Ωi = ∂ni(nkΩi) δikΩi. (1.61)
This allows us to rewrite (1.60) as ∂t(nkp) = ∂xi(nkJi) + Ωk ∂ni(nkΩi) = ∂xi[V nknip DT∂xi(nkp)] + DR
∂ni(nkΩi) = ∂xi[V nknip DT∂xi(nkp)] 2DRnkp ∂nj(nkΩj + (δkj nknj)p). (1.62) Multiplying by Nb and integrating over n with appropriate boundary conditions gives ∂tuk = ∂xi[V Nbhnkniip DT∂xiuk] 2DRuk, where we have abbreviated hnink · · ·i = Z

To obtain also an evolution equation for u, we multiply Eq. (1.57a) by nk, ∂t(nkp) = ∂xi(nkJi) nk∂niΩi. (1.60) and note that nk∂niΩi = ∂ni(nkΩi) (∂nink)Ωi = ∂ni(nkΩi) δikΩi. (1.61)
This allows us to rewrite (1.60) as ∂t(nkp) = ∂xi(nkJi) + Ωk ∂ni(nkΩi) = ∂xi[V nknip DT∂xi(nkp)] + DR
∂ni(nkΩi) = ∂xi[V nknip DT∂xi(nkp)] 2DRnkp ∂nj(nkΩj + (δkj nknj)p). (1.62) Multiplying by Nb and integrating over n with appropriate boundary conditions gives ∂tuk = ∂xi[V Nbhnkniip DT∂xiuk] 2DRuk, where we have abbreviated hnink · · ·i = Z

h i ∂tu ' 2DRu + DTr2u. (1.64) To find the stationary density and orientation profiles, we look for solutions of the form c = ρ(z) and ux = uy = 0, uz = u(z). According to Eqs. (1.59) to (1.63), the functions ρ and uz must satisfy = V u DTc0, (1.65) = 2DRu + DTu00, (1.66) and it is physically plausible that they also fulfill the symmetry12 requirements ρ(z) = ρ(z) and u(z) = u(z). Hence, solution takes the form u(z) = A sinh(z/Λ), (1.67a) ρ(z) = AV Λ DT [cosh(z/Λ) 1] + ρ0, (1.67b) where Λ = p D?/(2DR). The cosh-profile (1.67b) agrees qualitatively with experimental measurements for dilute bacterial suspensions [BTBL08, LT09].
