Microscale advection governs microbial growth and oxygen consumption in macroporous aggregates

Microscale advection governs microbial growth and oxygen consumption in macroporous aggregates

ABSTRACTMost microbial life on Earth is found in localized microenvironments that collectively exert a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem health and influencing global biogeochemical cycles. In many habitats such as biofilms in aquatic systems, bacterial flocs in activated sludge, periphyton mats...
