Abstract

Fractal dimensions of aggregates can potentially be used to classify aggregate morphology as well as to identify coagulation mechanisms. Microbial aggregates of Zoogloea ramigera have a cluster fractal dimension of 1.8±0.3 (± SD), suggesting that these aggregates are formed through cluster-cluster coagulation. An analysis of size-porosity correlations for two types of marine snow aggregates yielded fractal dimensions of 1.39±0.06 and 1.52±0.19, which were lower than values describing inorganic colloidal aggregation.
