Continuum and discrete approach in modeling biofilm development and structure: a review
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 …

Review of mathematical models for biofilms
Q Wang, T Zhang - Solid State Communications, 2010 - Elsevier
In this paper, we briefly review the progress made in the mathematical modeling of biofilms
over the last 30 years. Biofilms constitute a spectrum of dynamical microorganisms, whose …
