Mathematical Contributions to One-dimensional Biofilm Modeling

ABSTRACT We study a traditional one-dimensional model of biofilm formation. It includes biofilm growth due to substrate consumption and biomass loss due to natural decay and detachment. The substrate diffuses from the surrounding aqueous phase into the biofilm. Its consumption by the microbes is...
