Abstract

By exhibiting exact analytical expressions for the planar wave solutions to the governing equations, it is shown that the theory for the propagation of bands of chemotatic bacteria requires an effective mth order process for the degradation of the critical substrate chemotactic agent, with m less than unity but greater than a certain function of the diffusional transport coefficients.
