Abstract

Micro-organisms play a vital role in many biological and medical phenomena, such as bioreactors for medicine or food, and human digestion assisted by enterobacteria. Many researchers have tried to predict behavior of microorganisms, and proposed macroscopic population models. However, it is worth asking how these models are constructed from individual behavior of micro-organisms. In this article, I will outline briefly some of the fluid mechanics aspects of individual and collective behavior of micro-organisms as well as the suspension properties, which will be useful for constructing a better continuum model for a suspension of micro-organisms.
