| Example animation from a single experiment using the BacLAB
computer model. A 900mm x 900mm
surface was randomly inoculated with 28 (potentially overlapping) clusters
of bacteria. Using a chemically initiated detachment mechanism
(hollow rule) the biofilm growth and detachment were simulated for 500 hours
in the absence of bulk fluid shear. This animation demonstrates the
degree of structural heterogeneity created by the chemically initiated
detachment mechanism and is typical of the results obtained using the local,
hollow, cylinder detachment rules. |
