From a thin film model for passive suspensions towards the description of osmotic biofilm spreading

From a thin film model for passive suspensions towards the description of osmotic biofilm spreading

Biofilms are ubiquitous macro-colonies of bacteria that develop at various interfaces (solid- liquid, solid-gas or liquid-gas). The formation of biofilms starts with the attachment of individual bac- teria to an interface, where they proliferate and produce a slimy polymeric matrix - two processes t...
