abstract
We investigate dense suspensions of swimming bacteria prepared in a nutrient-exchange chamber. Near the pellet concentration, nonthermal fluctuations showed notable agreement between self and collective behaviors, a phenomenon not previously observed at equilibrium. The viscosity of active suspensions dramatically decreased compared to their inactive counterparts, where glassy features, such as non-Newtonian viscosity and dynamic heterogeneity, disappeared. Instead, the complex shear modulus showed a power-law rheology,$G^*(\omega)\propto\left(-i\omega\right)^\frac{1}{2}$, indicating the role of bacterial activity in driving the system towards a critical jamming state.

Influence of active breathing on rheology and jamming of amorphous solids: insights from microscopic and mesoscale analysis
Periodic internal size oscillations fluidize a jammed 2D amorphous solid above a critical amplitude and convert yield-stress rheology to Newtonian flow.
