Environmental and ecological controls of the spatial distribution of microbial populations in aggregates
Fig 6
Aggregates captured at steady state considering commensalism and competition for O2.
Steady state times: 50d for [S]T = 1.0 mM, 0.5 mM, 0.1 mM and [O]2 = 10 mg/L, 6 mg/L; 75d for [S]T = 1.0 mM, 0.5 mM, 0.1 mM and [O]2 = 1 mg/L; 100d for [S]T = 0.05 mM and [O]2 = 10 mg/L, 6 mg/L, 1 mg/L. Inactive bacteria are shown in a lighter colour. Substrate profiles on the transverse plane of aggregates have been included on S5 Fig. Aggregates captured at steady state.
