Section 2: Bacteria and Buoyancy
With the main focus of our project being the gas vesicles, we decided to model the effect that they would have on the
bacterium's path.
The net force on the bacterium should be positive for floatation to occur. This force is composed of three components:
The buoyancy force, the force due to gravity and Stokes drag force. They are applied thus:
