A multispecies biofilm model
Abstract
Using a continuum approach and observing conservation principles, an analytical mathematical model of microbial interaction in biofilms was developed. The model predicts changes in biofilm thickness and describes the dynamics and spatial distribution of microbial species and substrates in the film. It allows for biomass detachment due to shear stress and sloughing, external mass transfer limitations, as well as variations in substrate concentrations in the bulk liquid. A computer implementation of the model is provided using an example of heterotrophicautotrophic competition to illustrate how the observed phenomena can be numerically reproduced and indicating how they might affect overall biofilm performance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
