Notes:
Abstract Stability in a chemostat under conditions of either nutrient limitation or inhibitory product limitation is demonstrated by simple mathematical analysis without the use of calculus or numerical stimulation. Irrespective of the exact form of the kinetic equation, the steady-state point will always be reached from any starting point and after any perturbation; only extreme situations might result in wash-out in transient state. The treatment given applies only to unstructured systems, i.e. those governed by a single kinetic equation. In structured systems, which are governed by two or more kinetic equations, the concept of limitation by nutrient or by metabolic product applies to the steady state only.
