Movie S4.

Sperm used microgrooves to swim upstream, whereas T. foetus did not. With 1 μL/min of flow, sperm used the microgrooves and migrated upstream (flow from the right), whereas T. foetus were brought downstream. Recorded at 18 FPS, replayed at 5 FPS. (Scale bar: 50 μm.)

Microgrooves and fluid flows provide preferential passageways for sperm over pathogen Tritrichomonas foetus
