Dataset for: Filamentous Escherichia coli cells swimming in tapered microcapillaries

This dataset contains a video of filamentous Escherichia coli cells in tapered capillaries. The diameter of the capillaries decreased from 700 um to 4um and had a mean body length of 27.8 um +/- 11.9 um. Bacteria stalled by counter-current flow at a critical diameter of the capillary.
