Hydrodynamic Interaction Enhances Colonization of Sinking Nutrient Sources by Motile Microorganisms

In this study, we document hydrodynamics-mediated trapping of microorganisms around a moving spherical nutrient source such as a settling marine snow aggregate. There exists a range of size and excess density of the nutrient source, and motility and morphology of the microorganism under which hydrod...
