Description:: Symbiotic relationships involve a life-long interaction between host and bacteria, and there is much we do not understand about how these interactions are developed and maintained. During the horizontal recruitment of beneficial bacteria by hosts, a complex set of molecular signals and communication ensures specificity. On the bacterial side, these...

Description:: The presence of unwanted biofilms on surfaces is a great concern for industrial, naval, and healthcare fields, and many other settings. To better inhibit, remove, or harness the properties of biofilms, an explanation of how specific structural or chemical features of biofilm matrix components leads to enhanced adhesion and persistence...

Description:: This work explores the development and implementation of a biofilm model for multiple solid species and multiple dissolved components. The model makes use of several different advanced numerical methods in order to achieve the goal of describing the behavior of biofilms growing in wastewater treatment reactors. Using the model we...
