Table of the input values used in our iDynoMiCS biofilm simulations.

Parameter	Values	Description	References
Sbulk	6.6 × 10−3 g/liter	Bulk concentration of limiting growth resource (oxygen)	Saturation concentration of water at 37 oC56
Y	0.64 g ⋅ g−1	Yield - grams of biomass produced per gram of oxygen consumed	57
μmax	0.29 1/h	Maximum specific growth rate	57
kS	8.12 × 10−4 g/liter	Concentration of oxygen at which the growth is half maximal	2
DS	2.3 × 10−4 m2/day	Solute (oxygen) diffusion coefficient	58
Biofilm Diffusivity	0.8	Factor multiplying DS to give solute diffusion coefficient inside the biofilm	58,59
h	80 μm	Diffusion boundary layer height	13,60,61
ρB	200 g/liter	Biomass density of bacteria	60,62
rdiv	2 μm	Average cell maximum (division) radius	57
kShov	1.15	‘Shove factor’ which multiplies the cell’s radius to give the radius of the ‘zone of influence’ for mechanical shoving	21
Ly	1032 μm	Simulation width
N0	300	Number of initialised cells

These values aim to be consistent with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in an oxygen-limited flow cell type setup^2,51.
