Spatial structure, chemotaxis and quorum sensing shape bacterial biomass accumulation in complex porous media

Abstract Biological tissues, sediments, or engineered systems are spatially structured media with a tortuous and porous structure that host the flow of fluids. Such complex environments can influence the spatial and temporal colonization patterns of bacteria by controlling the transport of individua...
