When the results of these measurements are superimposed on the results of nutrient uptake dynamics, the intricate interplay between mass transport dynamics and microbial activity in biofilms becomes visible, at least in simple experimental systems.
These findings demonstrate potential for using this method to investigate the complex spatial and temporal dynamics of reactive microbial transport in saturated porous media.
The chapter also examines the microbial survival and activity levels during transport, approaches to facilitate transport, and mathematical models that describe and predict microbial transport.
Yogev, S., Cooper, R., Fetter, R., Horowitz, M. & Shen, K. Microtubule organization determines axonal transport dynamics.
Microbial transport between the bulk flowing PLS and ore-associated phases was postulated to be driven by the microbial concentration gradient between the phases, with advection and dispersion forces facilitating microbial colonisation of, and transport through, the ore bed.
This information will be useful in assessing the risks of microbial transport due to preferential flow.
Tides affect sediment transport dynamics in many coastal environments.
These factors lead to abnormal molecular and fluid transport dynamics.
