Alternative sufficient conditions are derived that guarantee the stability of spatially heterogenous steady-state distributions of motile aerobic bacterial populations attracted chemotactically by oxygen, motile anaerobic populations repelled by oxygen, and the oxygen concentration itself through a

โฆ Synopsis
The phenomenological theory for the chemotaxis and consumption of oxygen by motile aerobic bacteria is shown to yield a remarkably simple one-dimensional steady-state solution for a congregation of bacteria close to the surface of an oxygen-depleted aqueous medium.

This paper reports general and specialized results on analytical solutions to the governing phenomenological equations for chemotactic redistribution and population growth of motile bacteria. It is shown that the number of bacteria ceils per unit volume, b, is proportional to a certain prescribed fu
The chemotactic responses of the plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria Azotobacter chroococcum and Pseudomonas fluorescens to roots of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (Glomus fasciculatum) tomato plants were determined. A significantly (P=0.05) greater number of bacterial cells of wild strains were
