We developed an individual-based model for simulating flock-forming bacteria. It includes aggregation and breakage processes of the flocks, together with the dilution dynamics of the reactor. Local nutrient concentration heterogeneities surrounding the flocks are explicitly taken into account. Our goal is to compare the predictions of this model with more macroscopic approaches as presented in Section 6.1.7 .
