## Abstract A kinetic model for mixed phototrophic biofilms is introduced, which focuses on the interactions between photoautotrophic, heterotrophic, and chemoautotrophic (nitrifying) functional microbial groups. Biofilmβspecific phenomena are taken into account, such as extracellular polymeric sub

We consider a moving-boundary problem associated with the fluid model for biofilm growth proposed by J. Dockery and I. Klapper, Finger formation in biofilm layers, SIAM J. Appl. Math. 62 (3) ( 2001) 853-869. Notions of classical, weak, and variational solutions for this problem are introduced. Class
A fuzzy-logic light attenuation model was developed and validated for a stirred-tank photobioreactor. Based on this model, local light intensities were used to calculate local specific growth rates of the cyanobacteria Synechococcus PCC 7942. The light regime for maximization of biomass space-time y
