Abstract
Significance Understanding bacterial movement is crucial for health, agriculture, environment, and industry. Studying the motility of five bacterial species in microfluidic environments showed that bacterial motility behavior is the result of a “tug-of-war” between hydrodynamics and local nanomechanics. In less confining spaces, bacterial motility is governed by hydrodynamics and can be approximately predicted by modeling developed for the simplest species. Conversely, in tightly confining environments, movement is mainly controlled by the steric interactions between flagella and the surrounding walls. Intriguingly, in mesoscale-sized geometries, hydrodynamics and bacterium–wall interactions overlap, either “constructively,” leading to smooth movement in straight channels, or “destructively,” leading to trapping. Our study provides a methodological template for the development of devices for single-cell genomics, diagnostics, or biocomputation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
