Abstract
In this paper, we study an intra- and interspecific competition system with the different diffusion rates in an unstirred chemostat. Due to the present of the different diffusion rates, the conservation principle for a classical standard chemostat model does not hold here. Firstly, we prove the existence, the uniqueness and asymptotic behaviors of positive solution of the single population system by using the degree theory. Secondly, by the degree theory and standard bifurcation theory, the existence and global structure of the coexistence solutions are investigated. The results show that when the maximum growth rates of two microorganisms with different diffusion abilities are not small, two competing microorganisms will coexist. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to illustrate that the interspecific interference can help the weaker competitor to win in the competition.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
