The Ciliate Paramecium Shows Higher Motility in Non-Uniform Chemical Landscapes 1 2 3 4 4 1 Carl Giuffre , Peter Hinow *, Ryan Vogel , Tanvir Ahmed , Roman Stocker , Thomas R. Consi , J. Rudi Strickler1 1 Great Lakes WATER Institute, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States of America, 2 Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States of America, 3 School of Medicine, Saint Louis University, St. Louis, Missouri, United States of America, 4 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Masschusetts, United States of America Abstract We study the motility behavior of the unicellular protozoan Paramecium tetraurelia in a microfluidic device that can be prepared with a landscape of attracting or repelling chemicals. We investigate the spatial distribution of the positions of the individuals at different time points with methods from spatial statistics and Poisson random point fields. This makes quantitative the informal notion of ‘‘uniform distribution’’ (or lack thereof). Our device is characterized by the absence of large systematic biases due to gravitation and fluid flow. It has the potential to be applied to the study of other aquatic chemosensitive organisms as well. This may result in better diagnostic devices for environmental pollutants.
