Simulation of catalase-dependent tolerance of microbial biofilm to hydrogen peroxide with a biofilm computer model

Abstract Hydrogen peroxide (HP) is a common disinfectant and antiseptic. When applied to a biofilm, it may be expected that the top layer of the biofilm would be killed by HP, the HP would penetrate further, and eventually eradicate the entire biofilm. However, using the Biofilm.jl computer model, w...
