A Class of Mathematical Models Describing Processes in Spatially Heterogeneous Biofilm Communities

We present a class of deterministic continuum models for spatially heterogeneous biofilm communities. The prototype is a single-species biofilm growth model, which is formulated as a highly non-linear system of reaction-diffusion equations for the biomass density and the concentration of the growth...
