Establishment of transport system for micro structures by using bacteria sheet

In this paper, we established the transport systems for micro structures by using surface swarming of Vibrio alginolyticus. First, we confirmed that YM19 and YM19ΔcheY, that were a kind of the variant strain of V. alginolyticus appropriating for surface swarming, were able to transport the micro beads. Next, we examined relationship between the transport speed and the diameter of the micro bead. The micro channel was applied to control the cell movement. And then we succeeded in causing the rotational transportation of object through this method.
