Computational Modeling of Early-Stage Biofilm Formation

Bacterial biofilm refers to a large number of bacterial aggregated membrane-like substances formed by bacteria adhering to the contact surface, secreting polysaccharide matrix, fibrin, lipid protein, and surrounding itself. Bacteria can form biofilms under different environmental conditions, such as pH, temperature, nutrients, etc. Therefore, the growth of biofilms is an extremely robust process. Therefore, while biofilm growth is a complex process influenced by multiple variables, insights into biofilm formation can be gained by studying simple schematic models. CD BioSciences use computer-aided methods to provide computational modeling service of early-stage biofilm formation to help customers complete biofilm related research.

Specific Modeling Approaches We Offer

  • We provide a hybrid molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo model for simulating the early formation of biofilms to unequivocally demonstrate that most of the expected relevant processes can be explained.
  • Our simulations account for bacterial growth and reproduction, their interactions and motility, and the synthesis of extracellular polymers and exopolysaccharide trajectories.
  • We can describe the production of EPS as the growth of the extracellular matrix, in a coarse-grained manner, by numerical settings. Our model is sufficient to identify key physical processes that play a role in the early formation of biofilms.
