The Simple Chemostat with Wall Growth
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model of the simple chemostat which allows for growth on the wall (or other marked surface) is presented as three nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The organisms which are attached to the wall do not wash out of the chemostat. This destroys the basic reduction of the chemostat equations to a monotone system, a technique which has been useful in the analysis of many chemostat-like equations. The adherence to and shearing from the wall eliminates the boundary equilibria. For a reasonably general model, the basic properties of invariance, dissipation, and uniform persistence are established. For two important special cases, global asymptotic results are obtained. Finally, a perturbation technique allows the special results to be extended to provide the rest point as a global attractor for nearby growth functions.

Chemostats with Time-Dependent Inputs and Wall Growth
Traditional assumptions in the simple chemostat model include fixed availability of the nutrient and its supply rate, and fast flow rate to avoid wall growth. However, these assumptions become unrealistic when the availability of a nutrient depends on the nutrient consumption rate and input nutrient concentration and when the flow rate is not fast enough. In this paper, we relax these assumptio...
متن کاملChemostats with random inputs and wall growth
Chemostat refers to a laboratory device used for growing microorganisms in a cultured environment, and has been regarded as an idealization of nature to study competition modeling of mathematical biology. The simple form of chemostat model assumes that the availability of nutrient and its supply rate are both fixed. In addition the tendency of microorganism to adhere to surfaces is neglected by...
متن کاملA numerical method for discrete fractional--order chemostat model derived from nonstandard numerical scheme
In this paper, the fractional--order form of three dimensional chemostat model with variable yields is introduced. The stability analysis of this fractional system is discussed in detail. In order to study the dynamic behaviours of the mentioned fractional system, the well known nonstandard (NSFD) scheme is implemented. The proposed NSFD scheme is compared with the forward Euler and ...
متن کاملA biochemically based structured model for phytoplankton growth in the chemostat 1
In this paper, a new model of phytoplankton growth in the chemostat is proposed. First, we give a description of the chemostat and we recall the main models: the simple Monod model, experimentally validated for bacteria growth and the Droop model, which is validated for phytoplankton growth and takes into account the possible nutrient storage. Though our model is quite similar to the Droop one,...
متن کاملTeichoic acids from chemostat-grown cultures of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus plantarum.
We examined the effect of growth conditions in chemostat culture on the quantity and composition of the cell wall teichoic acids of Streptococcus mutans BHT and Lactobacillus plantarum NCIB 7220 and the membrane lipoteichoic acid from S. mutans Ingbritt. With the cell wall teichoic acids, which are covalently linked to peptidoglycan, the amount of teichoic acid is independent of the growth cond...
