AB From multicellular tissues to bacterial colonies, three dimensional cellular structures arise through the interaction of cellular activities and mechanical forces. Simple bacterial communities provide model systems for analyzing such interaction. Biofilms are bacterial aggregates attached to wet surfaces and encased in a self-produced polymeric matrix. Biofilms in flows form filamentary structures that contrast with the wrinkled layers observed on air/solid interfaces. We are able to reproduce both types of shapes through elastic rod and plate models that incorporate information from the biomass production and differentiation processes, such as growth rates, growth tensors or inner stresses, as well as constraints imposed by the interaction with environment.
