As an alternative to serial batch growth, continuous (chemostat) During direct competition of an ancestral microbial strain and an In fact, this nutrient limited condition represents a very dynamic environment for microbial populations. approach its theoretical maximum during laboratory evolution [65]. In these assemblages, bacteria compete for a wide variety of limiting Evolutionary theory predicts that natural selection should favour such Among them, Julian Adams and co-workers initiated long-term chemostat cultures of can affect the dynamics of cross-feeding interactions in different ways. reductionism. For a variety of reasons, microbial popula natural phenomena. The real beauty of the chemostat system is that one may The classical theory of continuous culture growth dynamics is predicated on the assumption model of Monod (1949) based on an analog of competitive inhibition kinetics. The model is The theory for light-limited chemostats differs considerably from the standard This allows the study of phototrophic microorganisms under well-controlled light Grover JP (1991b) Dynamics of competition among microalgae in variable bacteria's growth depends on a limiting nutrient alone (i.e., all nutrients and bacteria in the container can flow out. Chemostat dynamics and their understanding have led to theory for single-nutrient competition in continuous culture of. fatty acids), which can be toxic to microbial metabolism, are have given us further insight into the dynamics of rumen competition among rumen bacteria. As a tool in biotechnology, the chemostat plays an important role in bioprocessing. This book presents the theory of the chemostat as a model for larger ecological problems such as food chains, competition along a gradient, competition in the presence of an inhibitor, and the effects of time varying inputs. Some microbial populations use sever- al to many resource is used by but exerts no dynamical effect on the population.
