Modelling of surfactant-driven front instabilities in spreading bacterial colonies
Sarah Trinschek, Karin John, Uwe Thiele
The spreading of bacterial colonies at solid-air interfaces is determined by the physico-chemical properties of the involved interfaces. The production of surfactant molecules by b…
Persistent vs. arrested spreading of biofilms at solid-gas interfaces - the role of surface forces
Sarah Trinschek, Karin John, Sigolène Lecuyer +1
We introduce and analyze a model for osmotically spreading biofilm colonies at solid-air interfaces that includes wetting phenomena, i.e. surface forces. The model combines a hydro…
From a thin film model for passive suspensions towards the description of osmotic biofilm spreading
Sarah Trinschek, Karin John, Uwe Thiele
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…
