Abstract
Microbial biofilms are important actors in many different environments. They can be harmful, e.g., on medical implants or in industry settings, as well as beneficial, e.g., in the human gut or on plant roots. In different experimental situations, we find a great variety of two-dimensional and three-dimensional colony shapes, but the underlying principles are not always clear. Here, we present a three-dimensional individual based model of spherocylindrical bacteria that initially grow and divide on a flat surface, but can also move into the third dimension.
