Motile bacteria are selectively attached to submicrometer-scale cargo immobilized on gold patterns on a silicon substrate using surface chemistry and the specificity of antibody-based capture. The bacteria–cargo conjugates can be released on-demand from the surface with benign chemicals, and the motile bacteria are observed to propel their cargo in solution.
