Microelectrodes were used to measure oxygen profiles and local mass transfer coefficient profiles in biofilm clusters and interstitial voids. Both profiles were measured at the same location in the biofilm. From the oxygen profile, the effective diffusive boundary layer thickness (DBL) was determine

A new technique for the determination of local diffusion coefficients in biofilms is described. It is based on the microinjection of fluorescent dyes and quantitative analysis of the subsequent plume formation using confocal laser microscopy. The diffusion coefficients of fluorescein (MW 332), TRITC
## Abstract We demonstrate a novel application of ^13^C pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR to monitor mass transfer, due to both flow and diffusion, in a 3D complex porous support structure modified by biofilm growth. This enables timescales an order of magnitude larger than previously possible to be
Ahstrati-Laminar liquid jets used in mass transfer studies have been generally discharged from convergent nozzles or oritices. The use of long straight capillary tubes to discharge the liquid jet is studied in this work and numerical values of the jet diameter and surface velocity are obtained. Thes
