A steady-state biofilm is defined as one that has neither net growth nor decay over time. The model, developed for steady-state-biofilm kinetics with a single substrate, couples the flux of substrate into a biofilm to the mass (or thickness)of biofilm that would exist at steady-state for a given bulk substrate concentration. Based on kinetic and energetic constraints, this model predicts for a single substrate that a steadystate bulk concentration, S,,,, exists below which a steady-state biofilm cannot exist. Thus, in the absence of adsorption of bacteria from the bulk water and for substrate concentration below S,,., substrate flux and biofilm thickness are zero. Equations are provided for calculating the steady-state substrate flux and biofilm thickness for S greater than S,,". An example is provided to demonstrate the use of the steadystate model.
