Abstract
This paper studies a one-species chemostat model described by a system of differential delay equations, featuring a periodic input of a single nutrient with period ω. The delay represents the interval time between the consumption of the nutrient and its metabolization by the microbial species. We obtain global bifurcation results for the periodic solutions with period ω. Our proof is based on the application of the topological degree theory combined with a Whyburn-type Lemma.
