Bulk Liquid
Substrate concentration profiles for characteristic deep (case a) and nearly fully penetrated (case b) biofilms. The ratio Lf /τ determines if the biofilm is deep. Many values of k1, Df , and Xf can give the same τ1 value, and Rittman and McCarty (2001) illustrate how this affects J1.

Typical response of a steady-state biofilm to changes in S. For this example, Smin = 0.0204 mg/cm3. S has units mg/cm3, and J has units mg/cm2-d.
