Convection Pattern Formed by Photosensitive Microorganisms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Euglena is one of the photosensitive microorganisms. It has been known that culture of Euglena forms macroscopic convection pattern, which is called " bioconvection, " with strong light illumination from the bottom. In this presentation, I would like to introduce to the bioconvection pattern of Euglena and to show how to control it.

Competition of intrinsic and topographically imposed patterns in Bénard–Marangoni convection
The structure of Bénard–Marangoni convection cells can be controlled by periodic topographic patterns on the heated surface that generates the convection. When the periodicity of the topographic pattern matches the intrinsic periodicity of the convection cells, a convective pattern is formed that is 1:1 commensurate with the topographic pattern. Arrays of hexagonal, square, and triangular conve...
متن کاملSize segregation and convection of granular mixtures almost completely packed in a thin rotating Box
We simulate size segregation in granular mixtures which are almost completely packed in a rotating drum. Instead of a 3D drum, we simulate a 2D thin rotating box which is almost completely packed with granular mixtures. The phase inversion of a radially segregated pattern which was found in a 3D experiment is qualitatively reproduced with this simulation. A global convection appears after a rad...
متن کاملPattern formation in smectic liquid crystal lms
Many initially uniform systems can develop regular patterns of spatial structure when driven su ciently far from equilibrium. In their simplest forms, these patterns resemble soft condensed phases. Pattern formation takes place via instabilities that are the nonequilibrium equivalent of phase transitions. We rst provide a general overview of the study of pattern formation in uid dynamical syste...
متن کاملDrastic reorganization of the bioconvection pattern of Chlamydomonas: quantitative analysis of the pattern transition response.
Motile aquatic microorganisms are known to self-organize into bioconvection patterns. The swimming activity of a population of microorganisms leads to the emergence of macroscopic patterns of density under the influence of gravity. Although long-term development of the bioconvection pattern is important in order to elucidate the possible integration of physiological functions of individuals thr...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling of Contaminated Soil Bioremediation Bases on Convection Dispersion Phenomena
A mathematical model has been analyzed for in-situ bioremediation with the purpose of remediating organic contaminated soil. Oxygen rich water when passed through the porous media of soil activates the aerobic microorganisms, leading to the biodegradation of the organic content. The model equations comprise three convection-dispersion partial differential solution of these equations has been co...
