Modeling of the Bacillus subtilis Bacterial Biofilm Growing on an Agar Substrate
Bacterial biofilms are organized communities composed of millions of microorganisms that accumulate on almost any kinds of surfaces. In this paper, a biofilm growth model on an agar substrate is developed based on mass conservation principles, Fick’s first law, and Monod’s kinetic reaction, by consi...
