It is well known that oil droplets in or on water exhibit spontaneous movement induced by surfactants, and this self-propulsion is regarded as an important factor in droplet-based models for a living cell. We report here an oil-droplet system spontaneously producing amino acid-based surfactants, which are then utilized for the droplets' self-propulsion. Thus this system is an active system capable of producing the fuel for the propulsion by itself, which can be used as a conceptual model for cell metabolism.

氨基酸基表面活性剂合成引起油滴的自发乳化和自推进

众所周知，水中或水上的油滴会表现出由表面活性剂引起的自发运动，而这种自我推进被认为是基于液滴的活细胞模型的重要因素。我们在这里报告了一种油滴系统，该油滴系统自发产生基于氨基酸的表面活性剂，然后将其用于油滴的自推进。因此，该系统是一个主动系统，能够自行产生用于推进的燃料，可以用作细胞代谢的概念模型。
