We analyze a system of reaction-diffusion equations that models quorum-sensing in a growing biofilm. The model comprises two nonlinear diffusion effects: a porous medium-type degeneracy and super diffusion. We prove the well-posedness of the model. In particular, we present for the first time a uniqueness result for this type of problem. Moreover, we illustrate the behavior of model solutions in numerical simulations.
