Abstract
For a chemostat with time-dependent removal rates that may differ between species, it is shown that a microbial species dies out if there is another species that has both a lower break-even concentration and a “less concave” functional response. Conditions are also derived for microbial concentrations to remain bounded and the overall microbial population to persist.
