An attempt is made to review the developments in the modeling of biofilm processes that have been made during the last fifteen years. This article considers only a selection of those publications that have created a significant impact on the trends and techniques of biofilm modeling. The recent advances in the areas of microbial interactions (multispecies biofilms) as well as the inclusion of ionic interactions and the pH effects in the biofilm modeling are also summarized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
