Motility of Escherichia coli K-12 cells was studied in a capillary tube with an inside diameter of 3 mum, which is comparable to the size of the cells' body. The extreme restriction, imposed by the capillary on the bacterial motility, caused a series of phenomena such as cell aggregation, swimming as a cluster, and break-up of aggregates, which were observable for the first time, and which are reported here.

在内径为3微米的毛细管中研究了大肠杆菌K - 12细胞的运动性，该内径与细胞体大小相当。毛细管对细菌运动性施加的极端限制导致了一系列现象，如细胞聚集、成簇游动以及聚集体解体，这些现象首次被观察到，并在此进行报道。(c) 1997约翰·威利父子公司。
