This thesis focuses on experimental studies on collective motion
using swimming bacteria as model active-matter systems. It offers
comprehensive reviews of state-of-the-art theories and experiments
on collective motion from the viewpoint of nonequilibrium
statistical physics. The author presents his experimental studies
on two major classes of collective motion that had been well
studied theoretically. Firstly, swimming filamentous bacteria in a
thin fluid layer are shown to exhibit true, long-range
orientational order and anomalously strong giant density
fluctuations, which are considered universal and landmark
signatures of collective motion by many numerical and theoretical
works but have never been observed in real systems. Secondly,
chaotic bacterial turbulence in a three-dimensional dense
suspension without any long-range order as described in the first
half is demonstrated to be capable of achieving antiferromagnetic
vortex order by imposing a small number of constraints with
appropriate periodicity. The experimental results presented
significantly advance our fundamental understanding of order and
fluctuations in collective motion of motile elements and their
future applications.
