摘要

In this paper we discuss a model of allelopathy and bacteriocin in the chemostat with a wild-type organism and a single mutant. Dynamical properties of this model show the basic competition between two microorganisms. A qualitative analysis about the boundary equilibrium, a state that both microorganisms vanish, is carried out. The existence and uniqueness of the interior equilibrium are proved by a technical reduction to the singularity of a matrix. Its dynamical properties are given by using the index theory of equilibria. We further discuss its bifurcations. Our results are demonstrated by numerical simulations.
