TABLE 4.

Swimming parameters used in the calculation

Swimming speed (μm/s) Turning speed (rps) Condition
Forward 50 0 Always
Backward 70 3 Near wall
50 0 Far from wall
Mean Standard deviation Distribution
Turn angle 0 (degree) 20 (degree) Normal
Bacterial state
Switching frequency Constant Better Worse
F to B 2.5 (1/s) 1.25 (1/s) 5.0 (1/s)
B to F 4.0 (1/s) 2.0 (1/s) 8.0 (1/s)

F to B indicates switching from forward mode to backward mode. B to F indicates the opposite.
