Solute transport within porous biofilms: diffusion or dispersion?
Many microorganisms live within surface-associated consortia, termed biofilms, that can form intricate porous structures interspersed with a network of fluid channels. In such systems, transport phenomena, including flow and advection, regulate various aspects of cell behaviour by controllling nutri...
