Turing instabilities and pattern formation in a benthic nutrient-microorganism system by Martin Baurmann, Wolfgang Ebenhöh, Ulrike Feudel

“…In general, the distributions of nutrients and microorganisms in sediments show complex spatio-temporal patterns, which often cannot be explained as resulting exclusively from the temporal fluctuations of environmental conditions and the inhomogeneity of the studied sediment's material. We studied the dynamics of one population of microorganisms feeding on a nutrient in a simple model, taking into account that the considered bacteria can be in an active or in a dormant state. …”
