Phytoplankton cells have developed non-trivial strategies to actively respond to environmental signals such as incident light, nutrient concentration or mechanical stresses. All these stimuli affect microorganisms dynamics and distribution over different scales. Starting from this point we investigate by means of direct numerical simulation the influence of turbulence on microorganisms unable to propel themselves, but able to actively respond and consequently to move along the water column.

Abstract

Phytoplankton cells have developed non-trivial strategies to actively respond to environmental signals such as incident light, nutrient concentration or mechanical stresses. All these stimuli affect microorganisms dynamics and distribution over different scales. Starting from this point we investigate by means of direct numerical simulation the influence of turbulence on microorganisms unable to propel themselves, but able to actively respond and consequently to move along the water column.
