Analysis and operating diagram of an interspecific density-dependent model *

Résumé

This paper studies a two microbial species model in competition for a single resource in the chemostat including general interspecific density-dependent growth rates with distinct removal rates for each species. We give the necessary and sufficient conditions of existence, uniqueness, and local stability of all steady states. We show that a positive steady state, if it exists, then it is unique and unstable. In this case, the system exhibits a bi-stability where the behavior of the process depends on the initial condition. Our mathematical analysis proves that at most one species can survive which confirms the competitive exclusion principle. We conclude that adding only interspecific competition in the classical chemostat model is not sufficient to show the coexistence of two species even considering mortality in the dynamics of two species. Otherwise, we focus on the study, theoretically and numerically, of the operating diagram which depicts the existence and the stability of each steady state according to the two operating parameters of the process which are the dilution rate and the input concentration of the substrate. Using our mathematical analysis, we construct analytically the operating diagram by plotting the curves that separate their various regions. Our numerical method using MATCONT software validates these theoretical results but it reveals new bifurcations that occur by varying two parameters as Bogdanov-Takens and Zero-Hopf bifurcations. The bifurcation analysis shows that all steady states can appear or disappear only through transcritical bifurcations.
