Transport and Bacterial Interactions of Three Bacterial Strains in Saturated Column Experiments
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The impact of bacteria-solid and bacteria-bacteria interactions on the transport of Klebsiella oxytoca, Burkholderia cepacia G4PR1, and Pseudomonas sp. #5 was investigated in saturated sand column experiments (L = 114 mm; ø = 33 mm) under constant water velocities (∼ 5 cm · h(-1)). Bacterial strains were injected into the columns as pulses either individually, simultaneously, or successively. A one-dimensional mathematical model for advective-dispersive transport and for irreversible and reversible bacterial kinetic sorption was used to analyze the bacterial breakthrough curves. Different sorption parameters were obtained for each strain in each of the three experimental setups. In the presence of other bacteria, sorption parameters for B. cepacia G4PR1 remained similar to results from individual experiments, indicating the presence of other bacteria generally had a lesser influence on its migration than for the other bacteria. K. oxytoca is more competitive for the sorption sites when simultaneously injected with the other bacteria. Ps. sp. #5 generally yielded the greatest detachment rates and the least affinity to attach to the sand, indicative of its mobility in groundwater systems. The results of this study clearly indicate both bacteria-solid and bacteria-bacteria interactions influence the migration of bacteria. A more complete understanding of such interactions is necessary to determine potential migration in groundwater systems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
