This grant is designed to advance the understanding of how microbial biofilms form and survive, aiming to manipulate microbial communities for desired functions. It requires developing new biofilm models and establishing innovative testbeds that replicate real-world conditions. Multiple parallel testbeds will track and test biofilms, capturing variables essential for growth and resilience, enabling model parameterization. Rigorous testing of manipulation strategies in both laboratory and field settings is crucial. This approach will refine predictive models, ensuring they accurately forecast real-world biofilm behaviors and facilitate effective microbial community engineering.

| Description: | A new understanding of how biofilms form and survive, combined with advances in bacterial control, will foster microbial community manipulation toward a desired function. This will require advances in modeling biofilm and developing testbeds to replicate in-the-field conditions. Multiple testbeds must run in parallel to grow, track, and test biofilms, capturing variables associated with growth and resilience to perturbation, and enabling further model parameterization. Biofilm manipulation strategies must be rigorously tested not only in the laboratory, but also in the field to foster model refinement and to ensure that models predict real-world biofilms. |
