The growth rate for individual droplets could be quite high. Based on the permeability coefficients from Table , small concentration gradients will quickly be dissipated by molecules following the gradient through diffusion. Once sorgoleone is incorporated into a droplet, forming a distinct phase independent from the aqueous phase, the concentration in water will be very low again. Realizing that flux is directly proportional to the concentration difference (Eq. 7), the high flux will be maintained. In vivo, the droplets will diffuse into the surrounding environment, with the concentration limited primarily by degradation by microbes or the environment.
