From: Large variability in the motility of spiroplasmas in media of different viscosities
Two examples of MSD(t) for an ellipsoidal particle of length \(l=3\,\mu {\rm{m}}\) and width \(b=0.6\,\mu {\rm{m}}\) with a motor velocity \({V}_{m}=1.5\,\mu m/s\) for two different viscosities. The dashed lines correspond to the diffusive regime at short time scales (\(t < {t}_{T}\)) and the effective diffusive regime at longer time scales (\(t > {t}_{\theta }\)). The thin black line corresponds to the case where an additional delta correlated noise in the velocity is added. The different characteristic time scales discussed in the text are indicated along with a linear and quadratic variation of the MSD versus time.
