Abstract:Bioremediation is often limited by the inability to bring populations of bacteria capable of degradation into contact with groundwater contaminants. Chemotaxis, the ability of bacteria to sense a chemical gradient and swim preferentially towards locations of high concentration, can enhance the biased transport of bacteria. Improving bacterial transport to contaminant sources in groundwater aquifers offers a way to potentially improve the overall effectiveness of in situ bioremediation. A two-dimensional microc… Show more
