DESCRIPTION OF MECHANICAL RESPONSE INCLUDING DETACHMENT USING A NOVEL PARTICLE MODEL OF BIO

DESCRIPTION OF MECHANICAL RESPONSE INCLUDING DETACHMENT USING A NOVEL PARTICLE MODEL OF BIOFILM/FLOW INTERACTION Erik Alpkvist1*, Isaac Klapper2, 1 Applied Mathematics Group, School of Technology and Society, Malm? University, SE-20506 Malm?, Sweden. 2 Department of Mathematical Sciences Center for Biofilm Engineering Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana 59717 ABSTRACT Bacterial biofilms, while made up of microbial-scale objects, also function as meso- and macro-scale materials. In particular, macro-scale material properties determine how biofilms respond to large-scale mechanical stresses, e.g., fluid shear. Viscoelastic and other constitutive properties influence biomass structure (through growth and fluid shear stresses) by erosion and sloughing detachment. In this paper, using the immersed boundary method, biofilm is modeled by a system of viscoelastic, breakable springs embedded in a fluid flow, evolving according to the basic physical laws of conservation of mass and momentum. We demonstrate in silico biofilm deformation and detachment under fluid shear stress. KEYWORDS Biofilm model, immersed boundary method, detachment, sloughing, streamers. INTRODUCTION Over long time scales, biofilms exist in a stationary state where material gains from growth are balanced on average by material losses through a number of possible mechanisms. Among the most important of those mechanisms are mechanically induced ones, e.g. fluid mediated transport and detachment via erosion and sloughing. Much effort in biofilm modeling (e.g. Alpkvist et al. (2006) Alpkvist and Klapper 2006, Kreft et al. (1998), Dockery and Klapper (2002), Picioreanu (1998)) has focused on growth. Less attention however has been directed to the mechanics of detachment. In this paper, we propose use of the immersed boundary (IB) method as a framework for studying bulk fluid-driven mechanical stress in biofilms and subsequent induced detachment.
