Abstract
This paper deals with a PDE model of two species competing for a single limiting nutrient resource in the unstirred chemostat in which one microbial species is of the variable yield. The introduction of the variable yield makes the conservation law fail. We first investigate the uniqueness of positive steady-state solution and dynamical behavior of the single species model. Then we establish the existence and structure of coexistence solutions of two species system. It turns out that the positive bifurcation branch connects two semi-trivial solution branch. Finally, we analyze the dynamical behavior of two species system, and the result shows that the two species system is uniformly persistent.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
