Abstract: | The bioluminescence images of unstirred cultures show that lux reporter E. coli (0.10 mg biomass per ml of the broth medium) in 6.4–10 mm diameter circular containers induce center-fluid-rising toroidal convection of ≤1 mm/min. The bioconvective torus is stable in a Teflon vessel and is deformed by 3.2–4.4 mm wavelength azimuthal waves in polystyrene or glass vessels. |
