FIG 7 — Predicted oxygen concentrations and generation times due to aerobic respiration in bronchioles clogged with mucus. (A) Differential oxygen concentrations affecting the thickness of the mucus and the bacterial density. (B) A two-dimensional visualization of the bronchiole with variation in the mucus thickness and bacterial density and the resulting predicted generation time of the pathogens in the mucus during growth only via aerobic respiration (resp.). This accounts only for aerobic respiration and neglects other catabolic pathways.
