## Abstract

In this article, the effect of diffuse flux in the absence of direct collimated flux on the onset of phototactic bioconvection is investigated. The main effect of diffuse flux in the absence of collimated flux is on the swimming behaviour of microorganisms in the suspension. At higher diffuse flux, the horizontal component of swimming orientation exhibits a higher magnitude, which slows the rate of pattern formation in the suspension. Also, the linear stability of the suspension predicts that the most unstable mode of disturbance transits from stationary (oscillatory) to oscillatory (stationary) at the variation in the magnitude of diffuse flux for some fixed parameters. The overstable nature of disturbance is mostly observed at the high value of swimming speed and extinction coefficient. Moreover, the suspension shows a more stable behaviour at the higher magnitude of diffuse flux.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
