<? xm-replace_text {Heading}?> Abstract The modeling of biochemical processes in biofilms
is more complex compared to those in suspended biomass due to the existence of substrate …

The scientific community has recognized that almost 99% of the microbial life on earth is
represented by biofilms. Considering the impacts of their sessile lifestyle on both natural and …

Microbes often live in dense communities called biofilms, where competition between strains
and species is fundamental to both evolution and community function. Although biofilms are …

Background Cell dispersal (or detachment) is part of the developmental cycle of microbial
biofilms. It can be externally or internally induced, and manifests itself in discrete sloughing …

A multiscale mathematical model describing the metals biosorption on algal–bacterial
photogranules within a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) is presented. The model is based …

A mathematical model describing the microbial interactions in phototrophic-heterotrophic
biofilms is presented. The main phenomena and factors involved in the model include …

This work addresses the modelling of oxygenic photogranules (OPGs), by introducing a
mathematical model which describes both the genesis and growth of photogranules and the …

Many biological wastewater treatment processes are based on bacterial biofilms, ie layered
aggregates of microbial populations deposited on surfaces. Detachment and (re-) …

The dynamics of biofilm lifecycle are deeply influenced by the surrounding environment and
the interactions between sessile and planktonic phenotypes. Bacterial biofilms typically …

A multiscale mathematical model is presented to describe de novo granulation, and the
evolution of multispecies granular biofilms, in a continuously fed bioreactor. The granule is …
