(A) The violin plot of the distribution of the ratio of the time that each bacterium is outside the pillar periphery to the total simulation time (poutside) for 0 < t < 500 of each arrangement (i) n = 1, 2, 3, 6, and 9 and fractal arrangement, d = 3 and (ii) n = 1, 2, 3, 6, and 9 and fractal arrangement, d = 3). (B) The violin plot of distribution of the total displacements of bacteria (Dtot) of each arrangement (i) (n = 1, 2, 3, 6, and 9 and fractal arrangement, n = 3 and (ii) d = 1, 2, 3, 6, and 9 and fractal arrangement, n = 3. The colors of the dots represent poutside. Results are based on 1000 simulation runs.
