Recently, there have been numerous reports of the use of microbes as bio-actuators. In particular, bacteria are one of the promising candidates for bioactuator development, because of which they have garnered a lot of interest lately. In this paper, we developed a new system for the transport of a micro-object by using surface swarming Vibrio alginolyticus, a marine bacterium, and achieved high-speed...
Micro-nano robots intended for application to various fields are developed. However, motors, which are robot's power, are not yet practical. In this paper, to realize the motor, which can be applied to micro-nano robot's power source, we established bio-motor by using surface swarming of Vibrio alginolyticus. We succeeded in controlling movement of surface swarming by ratchet shape micro channel and...

In this paper, to realize the motor which can be applied to micro-nano robot's power source, we established bio-motor by using surface swarming of Vibrio alginolyticus. First, we succeeded in driving the micro gear in the closed micro channel. Next, to...
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...
