Abstract

A new model for the dynamic evolution of a membrane system containing immobilized cells is designed and theoretically studied. The analysis is based on the diffusion-reaction theory in which both the diffusion and reaction components are space and time dependent. The numerical treatment gives the time evolution of the system which tends toward a U-form cell distribution in the membrane, depending on its transport characteristics.
