Figure 1. Mathematical investigation of microbial quorum sensing under various flow conditions steady state concentration fields of signaling molecules at three Peclet numbers.

Concentration fields of signal concentration (A) produced by microorganisms located at x = 1 and y = 0 with Da = 5 and (A) Pe = 1, (B) Pe = 5 and (C) Pe = 10, without autoinduction (F = 0). Note the difference in scale on the horizontal axis.
