Abstract: We discuss the influence of possible spatial inhomogeneities in the coefficients of logistic source terms in parabolic-elliptic chemotaxis-growth systems of the form �egin{align*} u_t &= Delta u -

ablacdot(u

abla v) + kappa(x)u-mu(x)u^2, 0 &= Delta v - v + u end{align*} in smoothly bounded domains OmegasubsetmathbbR2. Assuming that the coefficient functions satisfy kappa,muinC0(overlineOmega) with mugeq0 we prove that finite-time blow-up of the classical solution can only occur in points where mu is zero, i.e. that the blow-up set mathcalB is contained in �egin{align*} �ig{xinoverline{Omega}midmu(x)=0�ig}. end{align*} Moreover, we show that whenever mu(x0)>0 for some x0inoverlineOmega, then one can find an open neighbourhood U of x0 in overlineOmega such that u remains bounded in U throughout evolution.
