The Theory of the Chemostat: Dynamics of Microbial Competition

by Hal L. Smith and Paul Waltman

Book Overview

The chemostat is a basic piece of laboratory apparatus, yet it has begun to occupy an increasingly central role in ecological studies. The ecological environment created by a chemostat is one of the few completely controlled experimental systems for testing microbial growth and competition.
