Profiles of flow velocity and dissolved oxygen concentration were studied by NMR and microelectrodes near mixed population biofilms growing on polycarbonate substratum. The profile of dissolved oxygen concentration within the diffusion boundary layer and profiles of flow velocity within the hydrodynamic boundary layer can be described by exponential equations.
