Gazezelli, E., A Physical Introduction to Suspension Dynamics. Cambridge University Press: 2011. The majority of bacteria sediment as their default mode of transport (e.g. S. aureus) due to their relatively large colloidal size and their density compared with water (specifically they are non-Brownian colloids). Thus, active motility is required for a stable liquid colloidal phase of bacteria to be achieved and sedimentation is common.CrossRefGoogle Scholar
