Figure 7. Rapid and catastrophic clogging of the channel by streamers.

(a) Images of the channel at two time-points. The scale bars are 50 μm. (b) The graph shows a gradual increase of surface coverage from 2% (3 min) to 5% (25 min). Then, it has a dramatic surge from 5% (25 min) to 37% (57 min). After that the graph plateaus. Solid curve represents a sigmoidal curve fit to the data.
